    WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THIS!?

    DIG:2003 #189
    A skeleton in the bowl hole graveyard

    What this skeleton told us: Evidence

    A 4-7 year old child with a poorly preserved skeleton. There is a partial and mixed set of teeth present with many teeth found loose in the grave.

    Interpretation of the evidence

    Child mortality was likely high in Anglo-Saxon Britain, as seen with this child’s death at a very early age.
