Abstract: |
An archaeological watching brief was undertaken at Pershore Abbey. A hand-dug test pit was monitored at the corner of the early 13th century St. Johns Chapel. This revealed four inhumations with associated disarticulated bone, the concreted sandstone rubble foundation course of the chapel and further foundation for a possible buttress or adjacent structure. Two of the burials pre-dated the chapel foundations and one appeared to post-date the discrete foundation course. No dateable artefacts were recovered during the investigation, and all human bone was retained on the site either for immediate reburial in situ or reinternment at the end of works. No osteological analysis was undertaken although all the identified individuals appeared to be adults. [Au(abr)] |
