Abstract:		 SU 47352730. Two rich burials were found during mechanical digging of a sewer trench. The contents of Grave I - thirteen or fourteen vessels, including copies of samian forms, ornaments and metal box-fittings - were rescued from their (separate) spoil-heap. The cremation, contained in a flagon, was probably that of an adult male; there were also remains of a ?dog. Grave II, a rectangular pit first seen in the side of the trench, was fully excavated. On a decorated shale tray a meal had been set out with drinking vessels, cutlery and food. Personal possessions included a gaming board and styli. A glass jug probably dates to 3rd quarter of 1st cent AD, and a bronze jug with decorated handle may be of Campanian manufacture, first half of 1st cent AD. The cremation was too fragmentary for age/sex determination. A date of 70-95 is suggested for the samian, deposition of the burial being c 85-95. The significance of the "banquet for the dead" and the old and damaged condition of some vessels is discussed.
