Abstract: |
Four sets of iron coffin fittings, including hinges and locks, were examined which had traces of mineral preserved wood. The coffins were probably made from radial split oak boards and held together with oak dowels. The end of one appears to have been extensively repaired, suggesting that it may have been used as a large wooden chest that was repaired for use as a coffin. The site dates from the seventh to ninth centuries AD. |
