Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
During the course of road works in 1989 two groups of skeletons were unearthed from sand dunes. Excavation has shown that eleven corpses were deposited in two parallel trenches. The date of the burial is estimated, on the basis of coin evidence, to be c 1700. The skeletons were probably all male with a wide span of ages, though most died in early adulthood. It seems likely that they were the victims of a shipwreck. There are specialist reports on `The human remains' by Daphne Home Lorimer (76--81), `The coins' by N McQ Holmes (81--4), `The cloth report' by Naomi Tarrent & Linda Easton with analysis by Alan O'Berg (84) and details of the `Historical background' by J Falconer (86--7) which provide the context for interpretation. | |||||||||
