Archaeologists in Sweden<\/a> recently stumbled on a “highly unusual” find \u2014 two rare neck rings believed to be more than 2,500 years old, buried inside an ancient grave monument.<\/p>\n

Arkeologerna, a Swedish archaeological consultancy, announced the discovery earlier in May.<\/p>\n

The jewelry was found by archaeologists<\/a> in Marby, near the city of Norrk\u00f6ping in eastern Sweden.<\/p>\n

The discovery site “looks like an ordinary wooded hillside in the sun,” officials said.<\/p>\n

“Over the past few weeks, archaeologists have investigated parts of a larger archaeological landscape east of Norrk\u00f6ping, containing graves, rock carvings and settlement remains from the Late Bronze Age (c. 1100\u2013500 BC),” Arkeologerna said in a statement.<\/p>\n

“At the time, the area was located beside a bay close to the sea. The excavation is being carried out ahead of planned housing development in the area.”<\/p>\n

Officials said the rings were likely buried as ritual offerings thousands of years ago.<\/p>\n

They’ve been identified as wendel rings, which are a “rare type of bronze ornament<\/a> dating to the final phase of the Bronze Age,” the statement noted.<\/p>\n

“They are characterized by their twisted form, where the cast bronze alternates between right- and left-handed twists,” officials said.<\/p>\n

Wendel rings are “relatively rare finds,” said excavation leader Alf Ericsson.<\/p>\n

“They are often discovered in hoards together with other objects, typically in wetlands such as bogs or marshes,” he said in a statement.<\/p>\n

“But finding two neck rings placed together inside a grave monument containing burials is extremely unusual<\/a> \u2014 perhaps unique.”<\/p>\n

Both pieces of jewelry are “well preserved,” said Ericsson, though the more ornate ring “is in better condition than the other.”<\/p>\n

The excavation leader told Fox News Digital that the better-preserved ring is “broken in half.”<\/p>\n

“This break was likely made during the Bronze Age, probably as part of the ritual process,” he said.<\/p>\n

He also said that it’s “highly unusual” to find these sorts of neck rings in a burial context in Sweden.<\/p>\n

The excavation marks “the first time this has been documented in a modern archaeological context,” he noted.<\/p>\n

Ericsson said the neck rings were typically associated with women, though historical depictions suggest men may have worn them as well.<\/p>\n

“At least in ritual contexts, men have also been able to wear neck rings<\/a>,” he said.<\/p>\n

The expert added that archaeologists also found “se<\/i>veral deposits of cremated human bones,” which are undergoing analysis.<\/p>\n

“We never expected to find anything like this,” Ericsson said. “We still haven\u2019t fully taken it in.”<\/p>\n

Though officials are still learning more about the site, they believe the graves “belonged to a complex and symbolically rich culture.”<\/p>\n

“Archaeologists also uncovered house remains and investigated two burnt mounds built up from fire-cracked stones,” Arkeologerna’s statement said.<\/p>\n

The discoveries are part of a string of major archaeological finds announced in Sweden over the past year.<\/p>\n
