I would recommend readers take a look at this paper and judge for themselves whether we treated the human remains as ?filth?.

But, looking at the excavation report there is a very substantial RB enclosure with burials within the ditch. The proportion excavated is rather small at c. 8%. While I am certainly not one of those to propose excavation of everything I am concerned that 92% of the feature, with clear evidence for burial, was left behind. And this was with an unusual excavation team comprising PCA staff, volunteers and students.
I wonder how many burials were left to the JCBs of Barratt Homes?
