Roman-era
skulls photographed 70m below their discovery place in the construction tunnels of Crossrail in what will be the concourse between Moorgate and Liverpool St Stations. The stones jammed in the eye socket would confirm this as possibly the washout from a flooded cemetery. Pitting on the surface of some of the skulls also suggests they were rolled in
moving water.
The skull on the middle shelf without the pitting was probably rolled whilst still 'fleshed'.
Commissioned by National Geographic for a cover story on London's archaeology which went onto become a major outdoor display at the Museum of London.
