Archaeological experts have finally unraveled the mystery surrounding the remains of an ancient warrior found in a 2,000-year-old grave off the coast of Britain, concluding that the buried individual was, in fact, female.

This enigmatic Iron Age figure was discovered on Bryher, one of the Scilly Isles southwest of mainland Britain, back in 1999.
