| Abstract: |
Two adult inhumations (one unsexed, one probably female) probably of later third millennium BC date were recovered from the Staines Road Farm site. The principal point of interest was the nature of the incomplete representation of skeletal parts of the unsexed individual, which could not be explained by preservational factors alone. The possibility of pre-inhumation dismemberment was eliminated, and it was concluded that the missing parts had been removed after in situ soft tissue decomposition, possibly during subsequent disturbance of the ditch fill. |
