According to the British "Guardian" website, in the ashes of a young woman who died more than 4,000 years ago, archaeologists found the most valuable property of the young woman who was carefully wrapped in fur. These relics of hers were wrapped in peat, placed in a small stone box, and then buried on the Dartmoor Highlands in Britain.

The discovery of this young woman's relic rewrote the history of the British Bronze Age. Her relics, which can be called a treasure, contain some strange items. Includes one tin bead and 34 tin stud earrings, which serve as evidence of the earliest metalworking industry in the Southwest; Textiles have nettle fibre belts with leather trims; Jewelry has amber from the Baltic Sea, as well as shale from the town of Whitby; There are also wooden stud earrings, which are arguably the earliest evidence of woodworking ever found in the UK.

The choice of the location of the tomb is no accident. Located above 600 meters above sea level, Hakuba Mountain is not easy to get there even in today's technologically advanced world. From the nearest road, after driving for half an hour on a military road, you need to walk for another 45 minutes through heather plants and swamps.

Scientists at smithsonian museums in the UK, Denmark and the US have been working on the fur that wraps the boxes. The study found that the fur was neither of a dog nor a wolf, nor of a horse or a sheep, and scientists speculated that it might be the fur of a bear that existed in Britain more than 1,000 years ago.

Jane Marchand, chief archaeologist at dartmoor National Park Service, said: "I have been immersed in the joy of this discovery now. I never thought I'd see anything like this in my lifetime. The last time a funerary was found at dartmoor's burial site was during the Victorian period. This excavation is definitely the most meaningful one."

So far, scientists have not finalized the sex of the owners of the charred ashes, but they have deduced that the owners of the tombs should be between the ages of 15 and 25.

Jane Marchandre added: "Actually, I should not have tacitly accepted her as a woman, but given the nature of the object, and the fact that no daggers or weapons like the ones we have found in other tombs before have been found in the tomb, I personally deduce that the owner of this tomb is a young woman, and any artifacts in the tomb are worth noting."
