| Abstract: |
An excavation along the corridor of a new works site entrance, which was located within the general area of the Roman town which predated Ware and lay on the route of Ermine Street, was undertaken following evaluation which had revealed features of Roman date. The excavation revealed part of a late Roman cemetery, and recorded twelve more or less complete, and two much disturbed burials. One grave was empty. Most of the burials appeared to have been wrapped in similar cloths or burial shrouds. The bones of one individual were very tightly compressed suggesting they were tied or wrapped very tightly. All were supine burials, and the majority had their forearms crossed over in front of the pelvis. There was evidence that at least two individuals had been place in coffins. Few of the burials contained grave goods. Two indivduals wore simple items of jewellery: a small bronze ring and a bronze bracelet. [Au(abr)] |
