Spectators peer through a chain linked fence which appears out of place in front of a church. In a city as old as Pápa, first recorded in 1061, an archeological find is extremely exciting. When digging in front of the Catholic Great Church, built by Jacob Fellner in 1786 as a dedication to St. Stephen, workers came across ancient stone and skeletol remains.
Archeologists working behind fences, are cautiously uncovering numeous, fully intact human skeletons which were seemingly buried (or thrown) into a crypt type of structure. Many of the remains are not positioned as would be expected if they were buried properly. Some remains are turned on their sides, others are overlapping one another. Archeologists are carefuly examining the remains, sketching pictures of each.
The stone walls, being uncovered, appear to lead even further under ground. As the digging continues, one can not help but wonder from what period in time these remains come from, and what type of structure is being uncovered. The people of Pápa wait to learn the origins of this archeological discovery.
