Abstract:		 Paper assessing the evidence for post-burial disturbances of the deceased in early medieval cemeteries in Wessex, with particular attention given to the differences between the levels of post-burial disturbances seen in field cemeteries and churchyards, as well as to a consideration of the fate of the displaced human remains, from their deposition in charnel pits to the use of displaced skulls to support the skulls of later burials. The paper also examines the influence of the Church and the re-emergence of urban centres on the changes in the post-burial treatment of the dead during the early medieval period. The paper concludes with a consideration of the evidence for the post-burial treatment of the body with respect to both the views of the Church in the treatment of the deceased and the belief in the literal resurrection of the body.
