Kevin Colls, Archaeological Project Manager at the Centre of Archaeology has recently published an article in Current Archaeology describing his investigation of the death and burial of William Shakespeare.

The article describes how Kevin, along with laser scanning specialist Mick Britton (Centre of Archaeology), Erica Utsi (EMC Consulting) and a number of other specialists examined Shakespeare’s tomb in Stratford-Upon-Avon and a crypt at St Leonards Church in Beoley where legend suggests Shakespeare skull may reside.

Current Archaeology is the UK’s leading archaeology magazine and the article appears in its 50th anniversary issue.
