Abstract: |
Rescue work on human remains eroding from cliff edge of the tidal island of Burrow Island A series of burials were excavated from the eroding (eastern) cliff of Burrow Island between Gosport and Portsmouth. Although the majority were adult males - at least one baby was identified. A programme of radiocarbon dating (illustrating a Georgian date range of mid 18th C to early 19th C) was undertaken, with a study of stable isotopes illustrating an origin of southern Britain (and possibly N Euro mainland). |
