Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
Describes the discoveries at Folly Lane, a site within the Catuvellaunian oppidum. The tomb, dated to c~AD~50, comprised a wooden mortuary chamber. There was evidence of complex burial rites involving a pyre of great intensity which had melted many of the copper alloy and silver grave goods. Surviving copper alloy items included horse equipment, and fragments of vessels; bronze, silver, and ivory fragments are thought to be the remains of a chair or couch. More durable iron objects included a mail tunic. The site is shown to have subsequently retained its religious significance, with secondary human and animal burials taking place; a Romano-Celtic temple was also built on the site in the late first century and continued in use into the third. Comparison is made with two tombs found at Stanway, Essex, and the importance of the discovery is considered in the light of political developments following the Roman Conquest. | ||||||||||||||||
