Fingerprint charts for i) artefact date analysis, ii) artefact type analysis, iii) artefact metal analysis and iv) coins – date of production
A 5th-6th century Anglo-Saxon cemetery is known from Elsham Wold, in addition to a prehistoric inhumation burial with a Beaker and two lengths of (probably) prehistoric ditch. Some 630 cremation urns and 4 inhumations were discovered during excavations in 1975-6. Elsham is 3.5km south-east of Melton Ross, and South Newbald is also nearby. Everson (1993) has suggested a relationship between these large early cemeteries and later Domesday soke centres. The VASLE dataset comprises records from the PAS only; the relationship of the possible 'productive site' to the earlier cemetery is not known.
