Nesting Coffins

“Archaeologists have lifted the lid off a 14th century stone coffin buried at the Greyfriars dig site only to find a second coffin inside. …Eight people were needed to lift the stone lid which covered the final resting place of a high-ranking member of the friary, or possibly a medieval knight, Sir William Moton.

However, as they hoisted away the top of the tomb a second lead coffin, with what seemed to be the mark of a crucifix on it, was revealed.”

from another article:

“None of us in the team have ever seen a lead coffin within a stone coffin before,” archaeologist Mathew Morris, the Grey Friars site director, said in a statement. “We will now need to work out how to open it safely, as we don’t want to damage the contents when we are opening the lid.”

Princess Mononoke Survey

I am an undergraduate English student at the University of Washington working on a research project for a course on speculative fiction. The results to this survey will be used solely for research purposes. Results will be used in a research essay on audience reactions to Princess Mononoke. All data will be anonymous. This survey is open to anyone who has seen the film and is 18 or older. For questions or concerns, contact: Cassandra Pascual, cassiepa@uw.edu

I would really appreciate it if anyone who has time could fill out this survey. It’s for a final project I’m working on!
