Last June an episode took place as tragic as it is amazing. The witness and protagonist of this story was the Coasts of Love, in the region of French Brittany. Like any other day, a rancher, named Adeline Yon-Berthelot, began your day counting his flock when he detected something that bothered him: he was missing a cow.
Realizing the situation, he quickly He began to look for her in all the nearby places, but he found no trace of the heifer.. Until he noticed the existence of a hole half a diameter and three deep where, unfortunately, the heifer fell, which He died as a result of the blow.
So far the tragic part of the story, but there was still the most surprising part. After informing the authorities and veterinary services, Adeline’s curiosity to know if this type of holes were common, led her to contact the archaeological center of Rennes, who sent a group of at least five archaeologists to the site.
Big hole in the ground
Remains from between 550 and 150 BC
once there They began to investigate, analyze and photograph this large holewith the aim of filling it in so that a situation of this type would not be repeated, something that was carried out by the General Directorate of Cultural Affairs of Brittanywhich had to face the payment of approximately 2,000 euros.
Thus, these archaeologists came across remains of ceramics and charcoal that could be located in the time between 550 and 150 BCaccording to what was stated by the heritage conservator in charge of monitoring Costas de Amor in the Regional Directorate of Cultural Affairs (Drac) Gadea Cabanilla de La Torre.
According to him, this is not the first time that archaeological discoveries have been made accidentally or improvised, and As a perfect example we have the discovery of the Lascaux cave, discovered by Marcel Ravidat and his dog, and that, after accessing the cave, they found some paintings that ended up being recognized as rock art from the Upper Paleolithic.
