Description

In addition to the ceramic evidence, this TP produced a human femur shaft fragment which exhibited signs of having been cut post mortem. Its worn state and the absence of other human bone both suggest that it has been disturbed and redeposited (although it should be noted that it came from a late 13th century context). It should not, perhaps, be dated to the medieval period, but rather earlier (B1).
