Title Archaeology Human Remains and Burial Grounds
Description Human burials and remains, whether in burial grounds or outside, are among other things an important source of information about past human activity and society which is not available elsewhere. While this is frequently accepted in burials of sixteenth century date or earlier, the clearance of post-medieval burial grounds, along with the archaeological resource they represent, has frequently been regarded as of little archaeological importance.
