💨 Abstract

The remains of a woman from early Medieval London, found near the Thames, reveal brutal punishment practices. Lived between 680-810 AD, she was executed and left in public view as a warning. Her body showed over 50 injuries from beatings and torture. Capital punishment was common during this period, with various crimes punishable by death. The woman's diet suggests she may have experienced starvation.
