Ever wondered what happens to the human bones that archaeologists dig up? Most of them are stored in museums incase they are required for further study. The bones of 100 people were found near Bamburgh castle. Extensive analysis of the bones, DNA, and isotope analysis revealed amazing details of the lives of this Anglo Saxon community. Some of these people were from the Mediterranean, others from Scandinavia. It is thought that they were a Christian community and so they have been placed in Zinc boxes and are now in the crypt of St. Aiden's Church. I guess that if new techniques became available they could be taken from the ossuary for further study. They are kept safe behind this amazing gate. There is an exhibition in the church too. It was well worth a visit. #heritagestuidiesmoments #bamburghossuary #bamburgh
