Twitter #AngloSaxon #archaeologists I am looking for examples of burials with evidence of grass or straw matting. Anyone come across this?

@rosieweetch@howardmrw@tobyfmartin@SueBrunningBM (Don't know if that's any help or not; not quite the same thing you're after, perhaps!) -
@caitlinrgreen Thanks! Bed burials are interesting comp. One I have not a bed, but has straw impressions on the objs. straw lined grave-cut? -
@caitlinrgreen am surprised I can't find many other examples actually as it appears in at least two of the graves I am studying. . . -
@rosieweetch Not something I've noticed much, have to admit! Def 2 at Flixton Park, Suffolk: http://services.english-heritage.org.uk/ResearchReportsPdfs/043_2007WEB.pdf …pic.twitter.com/DfxGoBoBvT

@caitlinrgreen Aha! This is excellent, thank you! I knew that someone would know the right places to look :) -
@rosieweetch Glad it's helpful! :) There are others, if any use, eg this Viking burial: http://eprints.gla.ac.uk/45706/1/45706.pdf …pic.twitter.com/Vr7whsdUtr
