The woman was shot not once, not twice—but four times.
An archaeologist in Pennsylvania is starting to unravel the mysterious burial of an ancient, pregnant Native American woman who appears to have met a violent end.
Unusually, the woman had been discovered under a tree outside the settlement, which was likely bordered by walls of wooden stakes. The Monongahela typically buried adults inside their villages and children underneath their houses. Researcher Siân Halcrow, from the University of Otago in Dunedin, New Zealand, added that the burial"sheds valuable light onto this society's response to grief and the loss of this expectant mother."
