(From The Northern Echo)
BONES more than 1,000 years old are giving up their secrets to a North-East researcher.
Durham University postgraduate student Sarah Groves, 25, is examining the remains of people who lived in the region during the Anglo-Saxon period, from the 6th to the 9th Centuries.
By studying their bones, Miss Groves is learning how much activity they carried out and what diseases and ailments they suffered from, such as arthritis.
This weekend, she gave a talk on her findings at the Old Fulling Mill Museum of Archaeology, in Durham.
