Abstract: |
The proposed footprint for the building was machine excavated using a toothless grading bucket under constant archaeological supervision and ceased at the identification of significant archaeological remains, or at natural geology if this was encountered first. A metal detector was employed to scan all deposits prior to excavation. The hand excavation and assessment of the human remains was undertaken in compliance with a License for the Removal of Human Remains issued by the Ministry of Justice under Section 25 of the Burial Act 1857 in May, 2009 and also followed Wessex Archaeology’s guidelines, which fully comply with all current legislation and standards. The watching brief resulted in the excavation of four graves and therefore demonstrates that the early Anglo-Saxon (500-650 AD) cemetery first excavated in 1974 and again in 2007 continues southwards; the four inhumation burials making a total of one hundred and sixteen inhumations and at least four cremation burials so far recorded from the cemetery. The human remains represent a minimum of four individuals, including a juvenile (c. 6-8 yr.) and three adults. The adults included a female (>50 yr.) and two males (one probable) at c. 35-45 yr. and >35 yr. |
