#ExploreYourArchive – Tradition

For today’s theme, #EYATradition we have chosen an urn to represent the tradition of cremation. A cremation is a type of burial which has been used throughout history.

This particular type of urn is known to archaeologists as a ‘honey-pot’, and likely dates from the late 1st or early 2nd century AD.

The photos here show the honey-pot being excavated, and then it all cleaned up
