Abstract:		 Traces of occupation dating from the Mid--Late Saxon period to the eighteenth century have been discovered in Hereford Cathedral Close. The sequence begins with a Saxon settlement and cemetery, followed by the late Saxo-Norman masonry building, the basement of which contained dumps of animal bone and a complete late Saxon sword in its scabbard. A Norman quarry pit was backfilled with soil and charnel representing in excess of 5,000 individuals. The cemetery continued in use until 1791 and yielded about 1100 articulated skeletons. The importance of these findings, especially the osteological potential of the human remains, is discussed.
