East anglian archaeology No.69, 1994: The Anglo-Saxon Cemetery at Spong
Hill, North Elmham, Part VIII: The Cremations, by Jacqueline McKinley
160pp, 33figs, 49pls, microfiche. £20.75
This volume deals with cremated remains, both human and animal, from over
2,000 urns. Age and sex identifications of the individuals are presented,
together with their grave-good associations. Animal bone was found in a
large proportion of urns, and represented a wide range of animals, mostly
but not exclusively domestic. There is a discussion of the identified
pathologies and various aspects of cremation ritual and technology.
