Abstract:
Article describing the excavation of a Roman lead coffin by a team from Harlow Museum. The coffin, apparently discovered by an unauthorised metal detector user, had been badly damaged, with any grave goods removed and the human remains casually discarded. The findings of the excavation are described and the coffin is compared with a similar one found at Spitalfields, London. Because of the weight of the coffin, it is considered likely that it was brought only a short distance from a nearby villa or other large building for burial. LD
