Description

A site visit was undertaken by Louise Jennings of the Lincolnshire County Council Historic Environment Team after human remains were exposed by badger disturbance at Torksey Lock. The remains included long bones from at least 3 (and probably more) individuals, and were from adults, juveniles and infants. The assemblage included a largely complete female skull, and several pelvis bones, one of which could be identified as female. {1} Artefacts and remains are thought to have been taken to The Collection Museum in Lincoln, possibly with information in Archive LCNCC 2010.131.
