Overview

• The excavation site in Villedieu-sur-Indre revealed nine pits containing horse skeletons, dating between 100 BC and 100 AD.
• Two pits have been fully excavated, showing horses carefully placed on their right sides with heads facing south.
• Researchers have ruled out disease, suggesting the horses were either killed in battle or sacrificed.
• The site also includes the remains of two dogs, similarly arranged, adding to the enigma.
• The burials' proximity to a historical Celtic settlement hints at a possible connection to the Gallic Wars.
