A recent study by Scott (1991) on the conjunction of infant burial and agricultural processes, and Pearce's work (2001) on the association of infants with boundaries and ditches during the Romano-British period, have highlighted possible symbolic behaviours relating to newborn infants. This paper considers another strand of infant burial practice – the association of neonates with domestic structures and specific features within them, including hearths, doorways and hypocausts. Through examination of the placement of the infant within its immediate environment and the material culture represented with this type of burial, possible symbolic concepts embodied in the presence of the infant can be better understood.Keywords: INFANT BURIALROMANO-BRITISHDOMESTIC
