Cremated Bone in Archaeology
In the United Kingdom, the study of archaeological cremated human remains has risen exponentially over the past three decades. Consequently, we are gaining a more rounded understanding of past communities, rather than a skewed perspective caused by an overreliance on studies of human remains from inhumation graves. Yet, ethical considerations related to the excavation, recording, analysis, storage, and display of cremated remains are not explicit…
Prehistoric Landscape Development and Romano-British Farming near Rossington, South Yorkshire
In 2016–2017 Wessex Archaeology undertook excavations between Rossington and Doncaster in South Yorkshire prior to the development of a strategic rail freight interchange. The earliest evidence related to peat formation within two different parts of the site, with a pair of sequences radiocarbon dated to between the Mesolithic period and the Bronze Age. Pollen preserved within the peat provides evidence for woodland development over this period, …
Late Mesolithic, Middle Bronze Age and Late Iron Age/romano-british Activity at Crowdhill, Fair Oak, Eastleigh
Nine areas, totalling 1.3ha were excavated after evaluation and desk-based assessment at land near Crowdhill, Eastleigh (NGR 448830 119560). Features were densest in Areas 1 and 2, with evidence dating from the Palaeolithic to the early Romano- British period. Three pieces of flint from a Long Blade assemblage were recovered, probably from a small localised scatter. A core tool rough-out, probably for a Mesolithic tranchet axe, was found in a pit…

The Beaker phenomenon and the genomic transformation of northwest Europe
A cremation pit at Howford, Strichen, Aberdeenshire
A small emergency excavation was undertaken under extreme conditions in 1984 after receiving a report that a Bronze Age urn was visible in an eroded embankment after a heavy frost. Cremated remains of a female adult and infant, 11 burnt flints, a possible fragment of ivory and five pierced clay ornaments were subsequently recovered from the remains of a cremation pit, but no urn was recorded. A radiocarbon determination 3510 ± 30 BP (SUERC-33727)…

Cremation in Archaeological Contexts
Trevor Anderson (1955–2005)
Neolithic Causewayed Enclosures and Later Prehistoric Farming
Developer-funded archaeology on the Isle of Sheppey resulted in the discovery of not one but two Neolithic causewayed enclosures on the same hilltop in very close (c. 300 m) proximity. In the later Bronze Age enclosures and cremation cemeteries were constructed immediately to the east, followed by Iron Age enclosures and, ultimately, field systems dating to the later Iron Age onwards. A radiocarbon programme enabled the chronological sequence and…
Excavations at the Viking Barrow Cemetery at Heath Wood, Ingleby, Derbyshire
The cemetery at Heath Wood, Ingleby, Derbyshire, is the only known Scandinavian cremation cemetery in the British Isles. It comprises fifty-nine barrows, of which about one-third have been excavated on previous occasions, although earlier excavators concluded that some were empty cenotaph mounds. From 1998 to 2000 three barrows were examined. Our investigations have suggested that each of the barrows contained a burial, although not all contain e…
The excavation of a Bronze Age cemetery at Seafield West, near Inverness, Highland
Excavations in 1996 in advance of a major commercial development at Seafield West revealed a Bronze Age cemetery. Inside a ring-ditch were two adjacent graves with wooden coffins, one a boat-shaped hollowed tree-trunk, the other plank-built. Both had probably contained crouched inhumation burials. Grave goods in the former included a bronze dagger of ‘Butterwick’ type whose scabbard of wood and cattle hide produced a date of 3385 ± 45 BP (1870–15…
Excavations at Geirisclett chambered cairn, North Uist, Western Isles
This report describes the results of excavations undertaken within the burial chamber and entrance area of the chambered cairn at Geirisclett, North Uist, Western Isles in 1996–7. The chamber of this cairn had been investigated by Erskine Beveridge in the early years of the 20th century, and the work described here was conducted because of the threat of tidal scouring of any remains which had survived previous attention. The excavation revealed e…
The investigation of a Bronze Age cairnfield and later buildings at Fall Kneesend, Clydesdale
Excavation ahead of the M74 road development was undertaken at a cairnfield and other settlement remains at Fall Kneesend. The project was funded by the National Roads Directorate of the Scottish Office Development Department and managed on their behalf by Historic Scotland. The remains of a cremation pyre were found beneath one of the cairns, and an early Bronze Age radiocarbon date was obtained from this deposit. Later buildings placed among th…
Sand Fiold
Sand quarrying in 1989 at Sand Fiold, Sandwick, in Orkney resulted in the accidental discovery of a rock-cut chamber containing a cist. Subsequent excavation revealed that this cist had a number of unusual features. The cist slabs had been fitted together exceptionally well and the completed cist was designed to be re-opened by the removal of a side slab. Within the chamber, access was provided to the opening side of the cist and a relieving stru…
Bronze Age ‘Barrows’ and Funerary Rites and Rituals of Cremation
This paper discusses the evidence for pyre sites, debris, and technology associated with the disposal of cremated human remains in Bronze Age ‘barrows’. The use of the terms such as ‘cremation’, ‘cremation burial’, and ‘cremation-related feature’ are examined. The types of evidence for the remains of cremation-related activities which survive on archaeological sites are described with examples and compared with the results of modern experimental …

The excavation of a kerbed cairn at Beech Hill House, Coupar Angus, Perthshire
A much-disturbed kerbed cairn was excavated in the summer of 1989, prior to building work on the site.Two phases of prehistoric activity were discerned.In Phase 1, evidence of pre-cairn agricultural activity was identified in a residual old ground surface which produced a tenuous third millennium BC date.No structural features were identified but settlement in the vicinity was suggested by the presence of flint artefacts and Neolithic pottery.Pha…
The excavation of three cairns at Stoneyburn Farm, Crawford, Lanarkshire, 1991
Excavation of three small cairns at Stoneyburn Farm, near Crawford, Lanarkshire, was carried out in advance of the construction work for the upgrading of the A74 to motorway.The two smaller cairns contained burials dating to the Early Bronze Age and produced five faience beads and a complete pygmy cup.The largest cairn covered an area of complex activity running from the early Neolithic to the Early Bronze Age.Sherds of both early Neolithic bowls…
Excavation of a Bronze Age burial at Mousland, Stromness, Orkney
An earthen burial mound with a surrounding kerb was excavated in 1990. The central cist contained a cremation of an adult, possibly female. A polished stone axe lay outside the cist. A radiocarbon date from charcoal within the cist showed the remains to be of Early/Middle Bronze Age date. The cist and kerb were constructed before the mound, which was built up from successive deposits of turves and soil. Palaeobotanical and micromorphological anal…
Excavation of a Bronze Age Unenclosed Cemetery, Cairns, and Field Boundaries at Eaglestone Flat, Curbar, Derbyshire, 1984, 1989–1990
Excavations at Eaglestone Flat, on the gritstone eastern uplands of the Peak District, have revealed a Bronze Age cremation cemetery associated with a number of contemporaneous stone structures built for ritual and agricultural purposes. Some of the burials were within urns, mostly cordoned. Others were simply placed in pits whilst still hot. A minority were deposited in direct association with small cairns, either placed under or within them. Th…
Bone Fragment Size in British Cremation Burials and its Implications for Pyre Technology and Ritual
A pyre and grave goods in British cremation burials; have we missed something
There is more to a cremation than the human bone - turned white and blue-grey by the fire, enough to fill a fair-sized hat - because so much may go on the pyre with the corpse
Sancton I Anglo-Saxon Cemetery Excavations Carried Out Between 1976 and 1980
This report outlines the results of excavations carried out at Sancton I (Humberside, formerly East Riding, Yorkshire), the most northerly of a group of large, well-known Anglo-Saxon cremation cemeteries in eastern England. The excavations, undertaken by N. M. Reynolds1 for the then Department of Environment (now English Heritage), between 1976–80, were designed to assess damage to the site by ploughing and to try to determine the extent and limi…

Excavations at Three Early Bronze Age Burial Monuments in Scotland
The excavations of the cemetery groups at Balneaves, Loanleven and Park of Tongland facilitate an examination of many aspects of Bronze Age burial practices in Scotland. They are notable as much for the differences in burial ritual they imply as for the very narrow chronological period in which they were used. The three sites produced a total of seventeen 14 C dates, two of which are aberrant, with means of the remaining fifteen falling within a …
