Apparently there was aonther dig in this area they found this dude
one-legged skeleton discovered under a dance floor in Russia may hold the key to a centuries-old mystery involving Napoleon's favourite general.
Charles-Étienne Gudin died aged 44 after he was hit by a cannonball during the French invasion of Russia in 1812.
He had to have his leg amputated and died three days later from gangrene.
Archaeologists believe the skeleton found in the city of Smolensk, west of Moscow, is his. Samples have been sent to France for DNA testing.
