Abstract: |
An archaeological watching brief was undertaken on pavement replacement works subsequent to the discovery of large quantities of apparently disarticulated human bone. The archaeological monitoring, which was carried out in three areas, determined that the cemetery to which these remains originally belonged extended for a distance of c.15m-20m along the course of the footpath. It appeared very likely that the human remains were interred within a cemetery associated with a small two celled church excavated in 1955 immediately west of the watching brief area. A further part of this cemetery was excavated on the east side of St. Marygate in 1974. Some of the human bone was seen to extend under the adjacent Abbot Huby's Wall, believed to have been built around 1505. Parts of the foundations of this same wall were also recorded. The skeletal material represented the remains of at least eleven individuals of varied age and sex. A number of fragments of decorated bone comb and case were also found and may have dated the bodies to the 9th-11th centuries. [Au(abr)] |
