Bones found after being unveiled by coastal erosion on the Cornish coast were probably from a shipwrecked sailor, say archaeologists.
Analysis of the the bones found near Trevone in 2022 suggest the body was from the 18th Century, the Cornwall Archaeological Unit (CAU) said.
The unit also said a skull found during a beach clean at Sennen in Cornwall in 2023 was about 3,300 years old.
The discoveries are the latest human remains found on the coast.
