The medieval girl was buried face down, possibly with her ankles tied to prevent her from being resurrected. In this respect report Scientists from the London Archaeological Museum (MOLA).
A medieval community in England demolished a huge entrance door before leaving their settlement and buried the body of a 15-year-old girl in a hole left after the pillar was removed. They tied his legs and laid his face on the floor. The girl’s ankles are very close together, suggesting that they were once tied.
Perhaps the community treated the body this way because of the belief that the girl could rise up and harm living things.
The remains were buried near the village of Conington in Cambridgeshire between 680 and 880 AD. The girl experienced many difficulties in her short life: there are signs of malnutrition in her teeth, and on her back it seems that there is a disease in the joints of the spine. She engaged in heavy manual labor, which signified a low social status. His skeleton shows no signs of long-term illness, so his life may have ended unexpectedly.
