Archaeologists Unearth 1,000 Skeletons in Nørrebro Park Construction

Construction at Hans Tavsens Park in Nørrebro has revealed over 1,000 human skeletons. The site is undergoing work for flood management and urban greening. Museum of Copenhagen archaeologists are carrying out the excavation.

The park area was once the pauper section of Assistens Cemetery. Many remains belong to victims of Copenhagen's 1853 cholera epidemic. Researchers at the University of Copenhagen are currently studying the skeletal remains.

The bones will be reburied in the park after research finishes. This project provides key historical context for Nørrebro residents during ongoing construction. The story was reported by in-cyprus.philenews.com.
