Patcham Woman

This woman was likely a resident of Roman Britain. Her burial site might just be a 1,700-year-old crime scene. Her remains were buried in a pit. An array of nails were found near her knees, with one pitted in the back of her skull. After analysis, it was found that she suffered from stress, disease, and a difficult physical life.

The discovery of this man’s remains indicated the first wave of Saxons who traveled to Britain once the Roman Empire collapsed. He was found near a spear and a knife, so it’s said he lived an active and prolonged life. He died at age 45. The man had arthritis as well as dental abscess’ which were likely the cause of his death as the infection spread to his brain eventually.
