Pit-burial in Glebe South

Pre-development testing in 2003 revealed a circular deposit of charcoal and fragments of bone. When excavated the pre-cremated human remains were lying on the base of an upright ceramic vessel of probable Bronze age date (Diam. 0.3m , D 0.11m) (Wiggins, K.2006, 106).

Bronze Age pit-burial; the presence of pre-cremated human remains and a ceramic vessel indicates a funerary practice associated with personal or domestic ritual rather than a communal burial site.
