 Rattle His Bones: The Archaeology of Burials

Online talk by John Buglass

Organised by Thornton-le-Street Group. Free. Bookings via Eventbrite.

By looking at these different types of burials, and how they have changed over time, we can see how attitudes and beliefs have changed and gain an insight into the practices surrounding death and burial.
