2. Opening a Roman Coffin
6 months ago
A remarkable Roman burial has been found at Boscombe Down, Wiltshire, UK. When we lifted the lid off a three tonne stone coffin we were surprised to discover that the coffin had not filled with soil.
Instead, we found ourselves looking down on the skeleton of a woman who was cradling a young child in her arms.

I don't suppose you found any "Romano-Saxon" pottery in this cemetery -- if you did / do, I'd be most interested to know.
Yours ever
