Multiple burial, very close to the modern surface. Found while scraping.
From Archive Report 2005:
F.2160 consists of parts of three skeletons ((12359), (12360), (12385)) found in a secondary burial context. The bones were co-mingled, the long bones being concentrated together as were the crania, only few of them appearing to be in roughly articulated position. All evidence suggested that the skeletons were disturbed from their initial position and re-buried. It is possible that the remains were placed in a shallow cut (very difficult to identify during excavation being so close to the surface and therefore disturbance), or the remains were part of a ‘clearance’ dump alongside roman tegulae and mortar that was also found in the fill. This large unit was not fully excavated by the end of the season, but it seems to post-date one of the east-west graves of possible Christian rite |
