Mass Burials from St Mary Spital, London

• Lectures

Location
Museum of London

The excavation of St Mary Spital in East London uncovered a large number of emergency mass burial pits. Dating places the burials in the mid-13th century and may provide the first archaeological evidence of a global catastrophic volcanic event.

This is a free public lecture by Don Walker, Senior Human Osteologist at Museum of London Archaeology. There is no need to book for this lecture – it will be run on a “first come, first served” basis.
