    unrīm

    WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THIS!?

    DIG:2002 #15
    A skeleton in the bowl hole graveyard

    What this skeleton told us: Evidence

    A neonate (newborn baby) with good to moderate preservation for such a small skeleton (vulnerable to damage whilst buried). No teeth are present and there are some patches of new bone on the vertebrae.

    Interpretation of the evidence

    Infant mortality was likely very high in Anglo-Saxon Britain, with many infants dying in utero, during birth, or shortly thereafter from a variety of infections.
