Human bone

A number of prehistoric and Roman burials were excavated on Ridgeway Hill. After washing and marking, the bones will be analysed and recorded by osteologists, who specialise in examining human remains.

They will determine factors such as age and sex and look for indications of disease or diet as well as assessing the way the people were buried.
