The archaeological site was discovered during the installation of fiber optic cables beneath a road.
Calà—who was on call during the installation work—said excavations had uncovered a ceramic water jug which contained the bones of newborn baby, as well as the skeleton of a large animal.
It is thought that the cup was deposited during a funerary ceremony which involved the slaughter and cooking of animals. "Two weeks after the last important discovery of the sarcophagus and the intact skeleton carried out in what is certainly a Greek necropolis, Gela provides other extraordinary testimonies of the past," a statement from the Sicilian regional government read.
Archaeologists and historians think Gela is the site of one of the earliest settlements to be constructed in the area by Greeks from the islands of Rhodes and Crete.
