Fox News
Amid highway construction, archaeologists uncovered a 3,000-year-old Late Bronze Age settlement and cremation cemetery, as announced by the Suffolk City Council in the United Kingdom.
The excavation took place on the construction site of Europa Way. The highway was built to link roads in northwest Ipswich, a port town in Suffolk. Archaeologists also found cremation urns, a copper-alloy pin and fragmented fired clay weights. "There is a rich record of prehistoric land use."

"Intensive Late Bronze Age activity at Europa Way was located on the glacial outwash gravels, which outcrop on the lower slopes of the northern side of the valley of the River Gipping," the city council said in a statement.
