Horror, Sleaze and Trash.

 Decapitated deviant burial. Deviant burials do not usually face east-west, they exemplify osteological trauma, like decapitation, or bone damage, and some show evidence of bound arms and legs. These deviant cemeteries became known as execution cemeteries. A list was compiled on Anglo-Saxon execution burials and they show a few similarities: they are located on the borders of hundreds or towns, but near roads in an effort to exclude sinners from the community of the dead, as criminals were excluded from the community of the living. There is also evidence that suggest criminals may have actually been executed at these places, because they are buried around what were believed to be gallows. There was an increase of these sites in the later period as government grew and exercised its control.
