Abstract: |
Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by Vinci Construction UK Ltd to carry out the archaeological excavation of two inhumation burials within the crypt of the Pro Cathedral, Park Place, Clifton, Bristol, centred on National Grid Reference (NGR) 357733 173206. Both inhumations were interred in 1855 and their exhumation was required ahead of development at the site which will comprise the conversion of the existing buildings into student accommodation. Both internments were found to be in a badly disturbed state, which made detailed archaeological recording impractical, and ultimately of little value. However, where practicable, archaeological measurements were taken, and a detailed photographic record of the exhumation process was maintained. Given the confused and jumbled nature of the remains, all deposits encountered within the graves were hand sieved to retain the maximum possible material for re-internment. Despite the disturbance, the recovered disarticulated skeletal remains were generally in an excellent condition, which allowed useful human bone analysis to be conducted |
