Thesis
A Comparative Study of the Human Skeletal Material from Late First and Early Second Millennium Sites in the North-East of England
My thesis, submitted for the degree of MPhil at the University of Durham in 1989 (awarded 1991), is now available here in pdf format. It has been typeset in Times New Roman, rather than the original double-spaced Courier font required at the time of submission, and is therefore much shorter (in terms of page numbers) than the original document. Most of the diagrams and drawings have also been re-typeset and are hopefully clearer than the originals.
If you use any of the data in this document, please reference it in the usual way: Anderson, S. 1991 A Comparative Study of the Human Skeletal Material from Late First and Early Second Millennium Sites in the North-East of England. Unpub. Thesis, Univ. Durham. However, you will need to note that it is the online version, as page refs will be different.
