Answer: One of our vocabulary words, shroud pin, describes a pin that holds a burial shroud together.  A greenish stain found in the grave showed that this individual was shrouded.  Another vocabulary word, lipping, is a part of a bone that forms over time that shows a sign of arthritis. The story states that some lipping had formed on his spine and right arm. This was a great part of determining the Captain's age.]]> 2018-09-04 14:57:47 UTC https://padlet.com/mariah_andry/3k7vqk08mojo/wish/277589415 mariah_andry https://padlet.com/mariah_andry/3k7vqk08mojo/wish/277590147 Question: What was the team's theory about the significance of why the grave was located outside of the fort?

Answer:When they were excavating the captains grave they found a leading staff. The leading staff is the indicator of an ceremonial rank.]]> 2018-09-18 16:10:16 UTC https://padlet.com/mariah_andry/3k7vqk08mojo/wish/283007148
