Abstract:		 Report on the excavations at Atlantic House, London, which describes and illustrates new evidence of Roman London's western cemetery. The cemetery was established in the late-first century AD, following land reclamation along the River Fleet, and abandoned in the fourth century. A total of nineteen inhumation burials and twenty-nine cremations were identified at the site, with the majority dating from the second and third centuries. Two timber coffins were rare survivals, and these were lifted and removed for conservation and display at the Museum of London. A rectangular pit lined with timber stakes may originally have been a water-filled feature of ritual significance. The osteological study indicates that the cemetery population was generally healthy, enjoying a balanced diet and suffering few serious diseases. Includes specialist reports on the cemetery population and layout, funerary rites and burial practices, status and society, building materials, Roman pottery, medieval and post-medieval pottery, accessioned finds catalogue, the timber coffins, plant remains, animal bone, and human bone. Also includes French and German summaries.
