The remains of at least 5 people have been found buried in a vast tomb at Amphipolis in Greece.


Archaeologists unearthed bones from at least five people, including a woman aged over 60, a newborn baby, two men aged between 35 and 45 and another adult of indeterminate age.


The bones of one of the men bore cut marks which were likely to have come from a sword or a dagger, the Greek culture ministry said, adding a new twist to the occupants of the necropolis.


The fifth person, whose gender and age has not been identified so far, had been cremated.
