The bones of the people on the streets of Glubokoye

On Friday, July 6, began excavations at the intersection of Lakeland and Lenin St. in Glubokoye. Trying to expand outside Lakeland, bucket "Amkodor" turned the slopes with human remains. Some of them were collected by employees of public utilities, but after the end of the day the streets looked eloquently (see photo). Throughout the truncated slope every 1.5-2 m - fragments of human skeletons. The ancient cemetery whose existence is not even the old-timers will remember, was reminded of myself.

 

Incidentally, the same day on the street was dug up Lakeland stone cross, which can be dated XVI century. On the findings of human remains on the site in past years a lot of information. And the construction of a restaurant in the early 60s, and the construction of a department store in 1979 Glubokoye year en masse came across human remains.

The cemetery was in the wooden church. In 1880 Glubokskiy Orthodox Holy Trinity Church burned down and never reopened. In place of the church stood a cross, each year, until 1939, here from the church Nativity gone procession. Who is buried in the cemetery with a wooden church? Glubokoye residents, Uniate and Orthodox. Therefore, those whose ancestors were born and lived in Glubokoye, with high probability we can say that in the old cemetery, which no one remembers their ancestors are buried in the eighth and above the knee.
