Abstract/Summary
Excavations at Poundbury, to the east of Poundbury Camp, recovered the remains of over 1400 inhumations, mainly of late Roman date. Burials were arranged in a series of cemeteries which included a group of stone built mausolea. The internal arrangements of the cemeteries; burial practices; the gravegoods; mausolea wall plaster; and coffins are described. A detailed discussion of the human remains and the evidence they give for the diet; health; lifestyle; and demographic structure of the Poundbury population is provided. The volume concludes with a full discussion of the cemeteries and a complete grave catalogue.
