Cremated bones

After the funeral pyre had gone out a small amount of the cremated remains of people and animals were placed in the large pail. The remains are extremely burnt and consist mostly of fragments. This suggests that they were damaged by more than just the flames of the fire. Grave find, Skopintull, Adelsö Parish, Uppland.
