WEST YORKSHIRE, ENGLAND—Newsweek reports that the examination of the contents of a Roman lead coffin discovered in 2022 in the city of Leeds has identified the partial remains of a child. The initial evaluation of the coffin’s poorly preserved contents found the remains of a woman between the ages of 25 and 35 at the time of her death some 1,600 years ago, a bracelet, a glass bead necklace, and a finger ring or an earring. Researchers at Leeds City Museum have now determined that the remains a child of about 10 years of age had also been placed in the coffin. “We won’t know—and probably never will—who the child was or what their relationship was to the Roman woman, but we do know that their burials took place around the same period,” explained Stuart Robinson of Leeds City Council.
