guy Posted February 5 Report Share Posted February 5 A Roman wooden funerary bed has been excavated from a Roman cemetery near Holborn viaduct in central London. Also discovered were five oak coffins. The graves survived in the waterlogged burial site microenvironment. The bed had been dismantled before being laid in a grave of a male in his late twenties or early thirties. Other objects recovered elsewhere in the cemetery included beads. a glass vial with residue, and a decorated lamp. https://amp.theguardian.com/science/2024/feb/05/flat-packed-furniture-for-the-next-life-roman-funerary-bed-found-in-london Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
