A 2,000-year-old Roman cemetery discovered in Lincolnshire, England, included pieces of ancient pottery, skeletons and "grave goods" for the deceased… link |

Note that both burial (inhumation) and cremation are used. I've seen many assumptions online that the Romans only cremation. |

Interesting, it's not far from me, I'll have to have a look when the finds go to the museum. The village is not far from where the Roman Ermine street would have crossed the Humber estuary, it was fordable back then. |

Grave goods. Anyone interested in being buried with a few plastics, some rules and a spot of terrain? |

Pick a set of rules that are short, stable, and well-sorted, because you're going to have to chisel them onto stele to make them last millennia. They need to be clear and concise for the archaeologists who decide to try to recreate your gaming experiences, and errata won't make any sense a few thousand years out of context. Will plastic miniatures really last longer than lead miniatures? - Ix |

Remember in today archeology all written finds are unreliable and they can't be used. Everything is a " ritual Usingage". So do you really want the future to judge you by your figure paint job and love of odd shape plastic stones. |

May I ask what an "Usingage" is? |
