Abstract:		 Details of the excavation, carried out in advance of pipelaying, and the coffin itself are followed by descriptions of `The pipeclay figurines' by Miranda Green (194--201). `The skeleton' by Corrine Duhig (201--2) was found to be that of an infant not more than one year old, thought to have died as a result of hydrocephalus. Analyses of the remains include `The human hair' by Don Brothwell (202--3), `The textile fabric' by Elisabeth Crowfoot (203), `The dyes' by P Walton Rogers (203--4), `The textile fibres' by M L Ryder (204--5), `Fibre identification' by W D Cooke (205--7), and analyses of what is thought to be the remains of incense in `Aromatic resins' by Alison Taylor (207--8). `Appendix I: Roman lead coffins' (209--12) includes a gazetteer of lead coffins in Britain reported since 1976. `Appendix II-Roman burials in Cambridgeshire' (212--25) also provides a gazetteer.
