| Abstract: |
Two hundred and fifty burials (148 male adults, sixty-four female adults, fourteen unsexed adults and twenty-four juveniles) interred between 1263 and 1538 are examined. The burials represent interments within the friary complex. A study of the effects of preservation and recovery factors on the assemblage is carried out. Comparison between this group and other archaeological assemblages suggests a change in cranial form in East Anglia about the time of the Norman conquest. Pathologies include possible cases of rheumatoid arthritis, syphilis (which a high precision radiocarbon date indicates probably predates 1493), tuberculosis, leprosy, Paget's disease and weapon injuries. Despite the above it seems likely that this was a fairly privileged group in terms of diet and health. The second volume contains `Data for individual burials' (115-225). |
