Abstract:		 This report outlines the results of a desk-based audit of archaeological interventions which have taken place since 1980 and resulted in the recovery of a sample of more than 100 individuals dated 1066–1900. This forms the first part of a three-stage review of London burial grounds. A total of 51 sites comprising over 35,000 burials were identified, dating from 1117 to 1940 with a significant bias towards the 18th and 19th centuries. The spatial distribution shows a significant bias towards inner London. Almost half of the excavated burials have been reburied and a third curated. Half of the sites where information was available had been attended by (or cleared by) a commercial exhumation company. The sample is predominantly Christian and represents high, low and mixed status groups.
