    WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THIS!?

    DIG:2002 #84
    A skeleton in the bowl hole graveyard

    What this skeleton told us: Evidence

    An 8 to 9 year old child with adult and milk teeth present. Some plaque is present on the permanent teeth.

    Interpretation of the evidence

    Child mortality was likely high in Anglo-Saxon Britain. This child probably died from a communicable disease (infection).

    The Seven: The French Child

    Our analysis of the chemical elements trapped in this 9-year old’s teeth reveal that he or she spent their early years in France, before arriving in Bamburgh with their Mediterranean-born mother.
