Comments | EH Birstall Watermead Country Park: human bones from the palaeochannel Birstall Watermead Country Park- Human bone; femur, possibly female; one of ten Human bones recovered from spoil produced by stripping of overburden for gravel extraction. Bones had peaty silt matrix adhering to them, and apparently were from a peaty silt deposit within the palaeochannel, which was sealed by 1.5m of alluvial clay containing no post Bronze Age finds or features. | |
