    WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THIS!?

    DIG:2002 #50
    A skeleton in the bowl hole graveyard

    What this skeleton told us: Evidence

    An 8 year old child with a poorly preserved skeleton, preventing much interpretation.

    Interpretation of the evidence

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