Exhumation licence
Released on 16 September 2009
It is not often a council gets a licence application to exhume bodies, but South Norfolk Council recently received one - from the archeologists at Caistor Roman Town.
And it was just in time because this week, came the announcement that Professor Will Bowden had unearthed the remains of a fourth century Roman.
Normally, a Council Environmental Health Officer needs to be there with the power to halt proceedings if there is risk to public health.
With the remains being at least 1,600 years old, the risk was considered minimal.
