BABY SKELETON AT VERULAMIUM.
ROMAN HOUSE DISCOVERY
The skeleton of a baby which was buried about sixteen hundred years ago was found recently under the floor of a Roman house that is being excavated in Verulamium, near St. Albans, England. The walls of the house had been uncovered and the excavators were searching through a mass of debris that had been laid down, possibly as a foundation, when the child’s skull was discovered. The thin, fragile bone was split, and when assembled measured no more than about eight inches in diameter. More earth was removed, and the skeleton was revealed, with pieces of mosaic pavement mixed up with the bones.
