Ipswich UAD child record record IPS 1363 - Cemetery

The tenth century occupation is the most intense and, significantly, concentrated on the east side of the site, with only three pits of this date on the western half. This lack of occupation may be partially explained by the existence of a contemporary cemetery. However, only six certain graves were recovered (0009, 0010, 0182, 0207, 0281, 0321) and two possible graves (303,305). They were all shallow burials, which did not cut the subsoil surface and, as a result, many were seriously damaged in the initial site clearance. The date of the cemetery is also uncertain as the only stratigraphic relationships were skeleton 0281, which cut a late 9th century pit (0117), and skeletons 0182 and 0321 which both overlay features of uncertain date.
