OLD ROMAN CEMETERY CON
TAINS MANY VALUABLE CLUES
TO EARLIER CIVILIZATION.
OSPRINGE, England, August 15—A
miniature "Luxor” was discovered re
cently in this little village, which is
about forty-five miles from London.
The excavator, William Whiting, a
well-known archaeologist,'has revealed
the site of an ancient Roman cemetery
a few hundred yards from "Waiting
Street,” the first great highway con
structed by the Caesars in England.
The places of 50 interments have been
dug out.
More than one hundred pieces of an
cient Roman pottery have been tound,
as well as some fine urns and a few
small flasks. There has also been dis
covered a set of dice and counters ex
actly similar to those in use at the
present time.
It is evident that not only men, but
women and children were buried on
this spot, for among the discoveries
are hairpins, bronze pins and a set of
150 jet beads, twelve or more brace
lets, brass perfume bottles and a strap
buckle, which might have been made
today
Many oi the skeletons were found in
amphors—huge jars about two feet in
diameter. Apparently they had been
originally used for holding wine or oil
and many bear traces of lettering on
the outsids.
Some glass dishes, about two inches
in diameter, caused the excavators a
bit of perplexity. One was iound on
the hip of a skeleton, with nothing to
indicate its purpose. Two counters
found were inscribed with the names
Commodus and Postmus, who ruled in
the second century, A. D.
When the excavations are complete
the collection will be housed in a line
old thirteenth century house, situated
near this village.
