Low Hauxley Excavation video:
Opening the Cist

The cists lid is removed after it has been recorded. A large crowd has gathered to witness what will be uncovered for the first time in over 3000 years.

Inside, the cremated bone of a human being is exposed. In the near corner and out of view is a decorated beaker which may have once held food or drink for the afterlife.
