从林肯到约克的路上，罗马貂皮街穿过亨伯河，西边是布拉夫港，东边是佩图阿里亚小镇。从避风港向北走半英里，路的走向就不清楚了，然后是一条现代化的路，向北穿过南洞，通往威顿市场。在罗马道路所经过的地区，罗马时代的墓葬数量已经足够多，表明有一个广阔的墓地。这是本照会的主题，是在1936年10月10日发现的，当时人们在J.G.先生的马车车道上与现代道路成直角地铺设管道。苏瑟姆，在穿过大约4英尺的地方。在一个被风吹沙的地方，发现了大量混合的罗马陶器，可以追溯到公元1世纪末到4世纪，猪，狗，羊和牛的骨头也有代表性。目前，在大约5英尺的深度，有件事引起了更密切的注意。人们发现了一层薄薄的石灰岩板，覆盖着两具人类骨架，一具躺在离现代道路西侧几英尺的地方，另一具与道路平行，大约8英尺。从它的边缘下面描述的物品是与第二具骨架一起发现的，第一具骨架是由苏瑟姆先生提交给T. Sheppard，F.S.A. Scot.，船体博物馆馆长，他和他的工作人员一起参观了遗址。所有可以记录的发现的情况都包含在当时的观察中，在困难的条件下。据报道，“从当地的一个千孔鲕粒采石场采来的硬石灰石石板，形成了最初的罗马道路，在现在的道路下面清晰可见，这是旧道路精确位置的少数几个点之一。在这一边......一个埋葬的地方已经建成。很难说它最初是什么样子的，除此之外，骨骼上还覆盖着一层薄薄的石灰石。这可能是保持在地方或支持一些结构的木材，几个大铁钉，一些弯曲成直角，在骨头。如果这就是关于埋葬的全部内容，那么它们几乎不值得在本书中占有一席之地。这份记录的主要兴趣在于，它明确地指出了罗马道路的确切路线，而这一点迄今为止还不确定。然而，与第二个骨架相关的三个物体特别令人感兴趣。
The Roman Ermine Street, having crossed the Humber on the way to York from Lincoln, leaves Brough Haven on its west side, and the little town of Petuaria to the east. For the first half-mile northwards from the Haven its course is not certainly known: then, followed by the modern road, it runs northwards through South Cave towards Market Weighton. In the area thus traversed by the Roman road burials of the Roman age have already been noted in sufficient quantity to suggest an extensive cemetery. The interment which is the subject of the present note was found on 10th October 1936, when men laying pipes at right angles to the modern road, in the carriage-drive of Mr. J. G. Southam, having cut through some 4 ft. of blown sand, came upon a mass of mixed Roman pottery, dating from the late first to the fourth century A.D. Bones of pig, dog, sheep, and ox were also represented. Presently, at a depth of about 5 ft., something attracted closer attention. A layer of thin limestone slabs was found, covering two human skeletons, one lying a few feet from the west margin of the modern road, the other parallel with the road and some 8 ft. from its edge. The objects described below were found with the second skeleton, and the first to be discovered was submitted by Mr. Southam to Mr. T. Sheppard, F.S.A.Scot., Director of the Hull Museums, who visited the site with his staff. All that can be recorded of the circumstances of the discovery is contained in the observations then made, under difficult conditions. ‘Slabs of hard limestone’, it was reported, ‘taken from a local quarry of millepore oolite and forming the original Roman road, were distinctly visible beneath the present roadway—one of the few points where the precise site of the old road has been located. On the side of this… a burial-place has been constructed. What it was like originally it is difficult to say, beyond that a layer of thin … slabs of limestone occurred over the skeletons. This had probably been kept in place or supported by some structure of wood, as several large iron nails, some bent at right angles, were among the bones.’ If this were all that could be said about the burials, they would hardly merit a place in these pages. The chief interest of the record would be its apparent identification of the exact course of the Roman road at a point where this had hitherto been uncertain. Three objects associated with the second skeleton are, however, of exceptional interest.
