The skeleton of this woman was excavated near Castricum – Oosterbuurt, North Holland.
She lived there during the Roman era, but she was not Roman herself and died at an age of 24-30 years old. Then isotope research suggests that she spend her childhood in Germany. She was not neatly buried, if she was buried at all, but lay on her belly in a sort of ditch with her hands underneath her. Around her neck she wore a valuable necklace of glass beads with gold foil, which would seem to exclude a murderous robbery. But then how and why did she meet her demise?
