Nine Iron Age skeletons uncovered during a dig could "completely change our understanding" of how ancient people lived, archaeologists claim. Most of the skeletons in the Iron Age cemetery were found in the foetal position [Credit: Bournemouth University] The well-preserved remains were found by Bournemouth University students during a dig at a pre-Roman town near Winterborne Kingston, Dorset. Lecturer Paul Cheetham said the finds were "significant" as most tribes cremated or put bodies in wetlands. The skeletons have been taken to the university to be examined further. The Iron Age remains were found in oval pits with the bodies placed in a tightly flexed position [Credit: AFP] Mr Cheetham, a senior lecturer in archaeological science at Bournemouth University, said: "Understanding of our Iron Age past is significantly improved by this find, given the advances in scientific investigation such as DNA and isotope analysis which provide an insight into population movements and ancestry. "Accessing skeletal information from this date in the UK is extremely rare. This data could completely change our understanding of the Iron Age." Cleaning one of the nine Iron Age skeletons discovered at the southern edge of the dig site [Credit: Bournemouth University] It is hoped tests will reveal the ages, health, diet, origin and cause of death of the people whose remains have been found. They were all found in a coiled up position, similar to a foetal position, in a series of oval pits. Miles Russell, Durotriges Project co-director, said: "It's a very, very exciting discovery. The dig covers an area of about 10 acres (four hectares) near the village of Winterborne Kingston [Credit: Bournemouth University] "We call them 'crouched burials' they are all lying on their right-hand side with their hands under the chin, legs drawn up with the head facing north." Mr Russell said some were found buried with joints of meat and pots which would have contained a drink "showing they believed in life after death". The skeletons were uncovered along with one Roman grave in a late Iron Age cemetery during an annual 26-day archaeological field school dig by university students. Bournemouth University said the dig had revealed a "very densely settled area" with roundhouses, animal pens, storage and agricultural outbuildings [Credit: Jo & Sue Crane] The excavation also revealed a late or post Roman farming settlement, made up of five buildings along with kilns and ovens, established around AD300-450. The Durotriges Project The town of 150 roundhouses dubbed 'Duropolis' was uncovered by the students in 2015 Since its discovery between 300-400 roundhouses have been located The site appears to have been occupied from around 100BC The site covers an area of just under 10 acres The students were taking part in the Durotriges Project, run annually by the university, studying the transition from the late Iron Age to the early Roman period in southern England Source: Bournemouth University via BBC News Website [July 19, 2016] Labels Archaeology, Europe, UK, Western Europe TANN you might also like Newer Post Older Post

besides the post below, there are several other blog posts about these stairs. here is a link to the final one and you can work back to this post from that one ... great project !!! 3/9 ... Had it all together around 1:00 today. It's all disassembled now and the cabinet interiors are being shellacked and waxed .... Proposed railing design including second floor landing The case taking shape today 3/6/09 The cad drawing showing the three subcases seperated by color About 20 years ago I made the tansu style stair cabinet above for clients who were remodeling a house up the road in Danby, Vermont. Last spring, I made another tansu style cabinet for a New York City entryway and one way or another, last summer a gentleman from California found my pictures on the internet and contacted me regarding a stairway project he had in mind. We went back and forth for a while, and now, they're underway on construction of the addition to his house and we have started the stair cabinet. Unfortunately, my contract doesn't call for me to install so I'll just wave goodbye to it, and, maybe, by then, it will be spring here and I won't be wishing I was in sunny CA.. It killed me back in January to get pictures of carpenters in shorts and sunscreen while it was zero or so here. Anyway .... More to follow .... This'll be a long one ...

William Barnes, the self-taught Dorset writer and poet, concisely described folklore in his ‘fore-say’ to Dorsetshire Folk-lore by John Symonds Udal as: ‘Folklore, taken in broad meaning, is a body of home-taught lore, received by the younger folk from elder ones in common life, and in the forms of knowledge or faith, or mindskills and handskills’.
