Abstract: |
This report describes the methodology and results of an archaeological excavation undertaken by Tees Archaeology Research and Fieldwork Section at 2 Roseberry Crescent, Norton, following the discovery of human remains by builders. The site is centred on National Grid Reference NZ 44869 22300. The fieldwork was undertaken in April 2007. The site consists of the front and side garden of a domestic semi-detached house constructed circa 1949. Human remains were discovered by builders whilst excavating foundations for a new conservatory, porch and inspection chamber. The archaeological excavation comprised the partial investigation of five skeletons found in situ along with the recovery of charnel from spoil heaps and other disturbed deposits. The amount of bone recovered suggests a long-lived cemetery rather than a discrete collection of burials. The site is currently undated but would appear to fit the Christian burial traditional being oriented east to west and with no grave goods. It is recommended that radio-carbon dating is carried out along with specialist assessment of the human remains. |
