This paper seeks to identify the changes in burial practices that occurred following the conquest, by examining what
changed. This was done by examining specific aspects of burials: types of grave goods, infant burials, coffin usage within inhumations, and what type of burial was used, whether that was cremation, inhumation or excarnation. This study finds that burial practices typical of the
Romans had a profound influence over those used by the native groups of Iron Age England. These results help archaeologists better understand the cultural influence that the Romans had over these native groups and how greatly it affected their burial practices.
