Secrets Unveiled: Medieval Queen and Untouched Ponytail Found in Spanish Monastery’s Eerie 700-Year-Old Tombs
In all, archaeologists identified the remains of 11 women, seven children, four men, as well as three bodies that are still awaiting analysis. Some were wrapped in textiles, others were deposited directly into the tombs, while Queen Elisenda herself was buried in a wooden coffin — all “various forms of burial… that had not been studied with this level of detail until now.”
Institute of Culture of BarcelonaScientists used radiography, 3D scanning, radiocarbon dating, and textile analysis to study the graves and their contents.
The archaeological project is expected to continue until 2027. Archaeologists write that “the challenge for the coming year will be to transform these first findings into a complete historical reading that allows us to better understand not only who these people were, but also how they lived, how they died, and how they were remembered.”
So far, they’ve found more than they ever could have expected: “The first results of the research: a new look at life, death, and rituals in the monastery.”
