Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
This cemetery, which may have its origins in the late seventh century AD, overlies the remains of the Roman fort of Pons Aelius, occupying a headland site on the north bank of the River Tyne. In 1080 the 'New Castle upon Tyne' was constructed on the headland, reputed by some 12th-century chroniclers to have previously been the site of a Christian community called Monkchester. This report describes and discusses the results of the excavations of the cemetery, including the impact of the 'New Castle' and the later refortification. This is not considered to be a final or definitive statement on the cemetery, but does attempt to synthesis 13 seasons of excavation. Study of the skeletal remains is continuing and it is likely that the results of future analysis may revise some of the conclusions presented here. Similarly, the suggested presence of a late Saxon stone church, and a possible smaller predecessor, will almost certainly be a subject of further research and, perhaps, re-interpretation. | ||
