GORINCHEM – During the work on the fire extinguishing system of the Grote Tor, a large quantity of human bones was discovered in January. In the week of 19 to 23 May, Hollandia Archaeologists a further archaeological investigation at the Grote Toren to see if there are more human remains. The municipality had already taken into account the fact that there might be bones and therefore an archaeologist was already present in January. However, the amount of bones was greater than expected and therefore the work has now been stopped.
