Sad and fascinating. Thank You PBS!
I've read or seen elsewhere, that her leg bones showed evidence of more skilled butchery. Either there was more than one person involved, or the single individual got more confident.
Sad story.
1607 ?!
I would say cannibalism for sure. People literally go mad from starvation. The girl was young and alone, no one would ever know what occured. They probably bashed her skull to get at the brain for consumption. Sad all the way around.
What, to eat her brains ?! 🧠 🤢🤮
I think she was murdered for food. If she'd died naturally or by accident, she'd have been treated with respect before and after she was butchered, and given a Christian burial. These were people who made much of their religion and principles.
To throw her in a rubbish heap with animals means she was hidden. The best excuse for her vanishing might be she wandered off in delirium and was kidnapped by Indians.
If you'd robbed her deathbed, others would have known. If you robbed her grave, inevitably a shallow one, why wouldn't you put her back there? After all, it's how their God would find her on Judgement Day.
To add to her tragedy, consider that her previous nutrition shows she was most likely a servant. Perhaps she was an indentured servant, given no choice about leaving England.
