Discovery of 49 beheaded skeletons at York
#8
Somehow I find the circumstances of some victims (shackled) speaking against a loving burial by civilians. And I also have doubts as to why the Roman authorities would allow that to happen - I would rather have expected a mass grave.<br>
<br>
Judging from the high rate of decapitated bodies I would think this was a burial ground for executed prisoners. Is there any information available about the date these bodies went into the ground? Together at one time or individual over some period of time? <p>Valete,<br>
