The project to investigate skeletal remains from the medieval era in Cambridge about which I have written about before and which has investigated a considerable number of high and late medieval burials has a write-up from the University of Cambridge on the phys.org website.
The article describes the methodologies involved in the study as well as a number of individual case studies from amongst the skeletons. It can be seen at 'Bone biographies' reveal lives of medieval England's common people—and illuminate early benefits system
There are also links to other related articles which are also about the study. One such is from 2017 and can be seen at Face of 'ordinary poor' man from medieval Cambridge graveyard revealed
The overall findings are also set out in a more visually striking way from the same online site at 'Bone biographies' reveal lives of medieval England's common people—and illuminate early benefits system
I am tempted to conclude by saying as an Oxford man that we always knew Cambridge had skeletons in its cupboard …. but now we know how much can be found out about them.
