THE remains of two children hastily buried in shallow graves have been found among bones dating back to the 12th century during a community excavation in East Oxford.
The Archeox project (https://www.archeox.net/)spent six weeks working in the grounds of Bartlemas Chapel, off Cowley Road – the site of a former leper hospital – and confirmed local beliefs the site had been used as a burial ground.
This is from the Archeox project.
The project began as an idea in the Summer of 2008 during a conversation between fellow archaeologists and East Oxford residents Jane and David. Discussions with colleagues and other people with an interest in the area's archaeology and history revealed a major 'gap' in the public's archaeological consciousness of the area, even though it lends itself superbly to the kind of community archaeology initiative that has now become the "East Oxford Project".
