Scientists have discovered the burial site that dates back to the second iron era when drilling what the Deir Cordels Park was bordered by De Tifoli Street.
Inside the 13th circular graves, archaeologists found skeletons sitting in the face of the West.
This is a rare Galic burial site with eight other known sites in France, according to the National Institute of France for Preventive Archaeological Research (INRAP), the team behind this discovery.
Only three Galic burial sites were found in Switzerland.

The 13th circular pits with a diameter of about one meter is equal to an equal foot and forms a 25 -meter -south -south strip to the north.
Both bodies were carefully placed in a sitting position with their appearance on the eastern wall of the hole, a typical burial method between 450 and 25 BC.
All skeletons are completely buried in the same way with their arms that rest across their trunk and hands near the pelvis or thigh bone.
According to INRAP, “Their legs are very determined, and are often asymmetric.”
Unlike all the bodies that are buried with a black badge, there are no other personal or symbolic effects with them.
Despite the corrosion centuries, the remains have left significantly healthy and left researchers a lot to work with them and learn through it.
There are still questions about the reason why the 13 people are buried in this way, but another burial of the discovery indicates that they can be linked to their status in life.
They have suggested that they be political or religious.
Inrap stipulates: “Only dozens of archaeological sites that result from about fifty” sitting “died, the graves were placed near aristocratic housing, even sanctuaries or places of worship, away from issues.
“Despite the dimension of these sites, the compatibility is repeated: these tribal structures are installed on the edge of the professions; and the individuals concerned are adults whose gender, when identifying them, male.
“In addition, unifying the places (the same direction, and the exact arrangement of the corpse) remembers the stone or metal characters from the porn or even the cross -seating dated between the end of La Tène and the upper empire; this burial provokes this burial; the practice is likely to be dedicated to certain topics. “
While exotic burial plots were found on the oldest part of the Der Corders Paradise, another unusual discovery was discovered elsewhere on the site.
Archaeologists also found a vow dating back to the first century CE, which contains the remains of at least 22 children.
The full amount of bodies is unknown due to agricultural work that destroys some graves.

But one of the remains left, it is believed that children have died before they were generally age.
Each of them was buried on their backs or aspects, which is typical at that time.
Children were buried with a range of artifacts, including stone covers, nails, coins and ceramics.
The researchers also found the remains of wooden coffins that have been stuck since then.
“It appears that the absence of older people indicates that this is a space for burying very young children,” Enard said.
However, at some point the space was used for cultivation and then for the sake.
The team found ancient cultivation near the graves, as well as cows skulls from the sixteenth or seventeenth century.
Meanwhile, a group of British gold coins were found in the Bible era in the Netherlands and believed to be the spoils of war from the oppression of the Romans.
