\"VM<\/p>\n

Following on from yesterday’s image of the Bronze Age barrow at Bradstow School, Broadstairs<\/a>, today’s picture for Day 232 of the VM_365 project shows the crouched burial of a child which was inserted on the periphery of the Barrow.<\/p>\n

The grave, which is cut into the chalk geology, contained the remains of a child lying crouched on its left hand side facing south. Only the child’s skull, shown on the left side of the image and some of the long bones of the legs survived.<\/p>\n

A collared urn was placed as an accessory vessel on the southern side of the skull. Sherds from the urn can be seen as grey fragments showing up against the white bones of the skull and the brownish discolouration of the chalk at the base of the grave.<\/p>\n

The grave was\u00a0 inserted on the periphery of the barrow , presumably\u00a0 some time after the barrow had been constructed for a central primary burial which may lie outside the area of excavation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
