Abstract: |
Bone from 35 cremation burials was examined. There was no evidence of the presence of more than a single individual in any of the burials. Twenty one were adults (6 males, 5 females, the rest could not be sexed), one was an adult or adolescent and nine were sub-adults. The age and sex of the remaining four could not be determined. All remains were white in colour, indicating firing at high temperature. The uniformity of colour may indicate uniformity of firing of the remains, but it is possible that less well fired material may have originally been present but failed to survive the aggressive Ardleigh soil. |
