Abstract: |
An archaeological watching brief was undertaken by Cotswold Archaeology in the cellar of the Bear Inn, Oxford. This was in response to an unexpected discovery of human remains during drainage works to alleviate flooding within the cellar of the pub. After initial Police investigation the remains were considered to be archaeological in nature and a rapid recording of the excavation was undertaken. The human remains are thought to relate to the burial ground of the church of St Edward (12th-14th century), which is no longer extant. The remains were of at least three separate individuals, determined by the recovery of three different tibiae. |
