Recently, some archaeologists have found ancient frog skeletons at a site in Cambridge. They have found around 8,000 ancient frog and toad bones. These remains are of around 350 amphibians.
Ancient frog bones found in Cambridge
Scientists from the Museum of London Archaeology, Mola said that it is extraordinary to have all the ancient remains concentrated in one place.
The bones were found in a 14-metre-long ditch on the ancient site which was in use during the middle and late Iron age. Though, scientists are still finding the reason why did they find the frog bones on the website.
Factors leading frog remains
Maybe, the frogs were attracted to the area in search of food. There is evidence of grain processing has brought beetles and aphids, which frogs eat. They might have died at the site while hibernating in the mud during the winters.
The research and investigation of the ancient frog bones are still ongoing. Until further results come up, let’s keep it as a frog mystery.
