Product Description
Synopsis
This book chronicles the remarkable archaeological discoveries made on the site of Spitalfields Market in east London. Once the burial ground for some of the wealthiest members of Roman London, Spitalfields became the home of one of the country's largest and most important hospitals in the Middle Ages, looking after the poor and the sick. More than 10,500 skeletons were found in the cemetery, making this the single largest archaeologically-recorded group in the world. Spitalfields is also famous for its multi-ethnic community; from the first immigrants, the Huguenots, to the Jewish communities and finally today's Bengali community.

Format:Paperback
Imaginative and well-produced photographs and other images make this book a great gift for anyone with an interest in London's East End or in funerary practices. The text is written in a clear prose style and (or but - depending on your point of view) is tantalising. Having to condense so much information into so few words means that this reader is often left wanting to know far more about the topic discussed. The book is useful for the AQA AS level Archaeology exam option which covers the Roman Lady of Spitalfields.
