Roman skeletons to be sent for further researchpublished at 10:32 British Summer Time 7 May 2019
Archaeologists say they hope the discovery of more than 20 Roman skeletons in Lincoln will help shed light on how the city's ancient inhabitants lived.
Image source, PCAS ArchaeologyThe remains of 22 adults and children were found behind a hotel on Brayford Wharf North in an old burial site.
Image source, PCAS ArchaeologyThe discovery comes three years after a similar discovery in the Newland area of the city was hailed as "one of the most significant finds in Lincoln of recent years".
Despite being a major Roman colony, few burial sites from the era have been unearthed compared to places like York or Winchester.
Colin Palmer Brown, an archaeologist with PCAS Archaeology who uncovered the latest find, says further analysis will be able to tell them a lot:
Quote MessageOnce we've processed these bones they will be looked at by a human osteologist, they can tell us something about their diet, if they suffered broken bones and if they contracted certain diseases."
