Spirit of the times.

Red Lady to Richard III: Britain's 10 best buried treasures – ranked!, Guardian 8th May 2019. Two of them are human remains, several others are burials. Note that in the fluff, there is little about what these finds and their burial context tell us. Three of them don't even have a context at all - just a findspot.
