Bones from 65 individuals excavated from a number of sites in the city of Lincoln are examined. The majority of the material dates to the Medieval period, although there are 4 Anglo-Saxon burials and a total of 22 Romano-British burials of which 19 were infants. Also examined was a quantity of disarticulated remains from disturbed contexts, among which was identified a possible case of bovine tuberculosis; this is noteworthy as it is unusual to be able to document this type of tuberculosis in human skeletal remains.
