THE HUMAN SKELETAL REMAINS FROM CAISTER-ON-SEA, NORFOLK

Author(s): S Anderson

The skeletal remains from a large but incompletely excavated Saxon cemetery at Caister-on-Sea are examined. Remains of 139 articulated individuals were recovered, together with a small amount of disarticulated bone from all over the site. The articulated remains represented 49 males, 50 females, 8 unsexed adults and 32 children. Demographic, metrical, morphological dental and pathological aspects of the group are considered, and compared with the contemporary local cemetery populations from Burgh Castle, North Elmham and Brandon.
