Archaeologists in Zurich, Switzerland, found the 2,200-year-old remains of a Celtic woman who was buried in a tree. The burial was from roughly the first century B.C., and the woman may have been part of a Celtic community in Switzerland at that time.

Some of the grave goods buried with this women were in a condition that has allowed the archaeologists to learn a good deal about her, including the fact that her teeth still show evidence of a sweet tooth!
