and buried with her, were highly important personages of the 
local tribal-centre of the Dobuni at Corinium, who we know 
were among those Celtic tribes (if not Belgic) which used both 
gold and silver coinage. It is greatly to be regretted that no 
expert Archaeologist was present to examine, and hand down 
to us, the entirely-lacking details respecting the two male 
skeletons, their measurements, and any ornaments that 
accompanied these. It is not likely that their weapons were 
not traceable in so well-preserved an interment, which we are 
told the rain or surface-water had never penetrated. The 
probabilities, it will be understood, point to the burial-place 
having been purposely selected or appropriated by a leading, 
probably the leading, family of the neighbouring tribal capital 
Corinium. There is no need to connect it either with battle 
or with the far earlier camp on Crickley Hill. To overlook 
the fairest possession owned by the Dobuni, namely the Vale 
of Severn, constituted a sufficient reason for the choice of 
locality. The non-cremation interment is not a sufficient proof 
that the Dobunic Tribe was non-Belgic.
