I'm trying to find an article about the excavation of the remains of a medieval noblewoman who was voluntarily sealed in a room in an abbey. The link was in a UK archaeological publication. It was posted to the blue some time in the last year or so.
Response by poster: Thanks, elsietheeel - the reason I was looking for the article was because I got into a conversation with a co-worker about the concept, but I couldn't remember the term. I'd remembered a fascinating article on the topic, which led to the question. I appreciate your help - I'm almost surprised that there are no posts tagged with "anchoress" or "anchorite!"
Houstonian: That's it! Specifically, this article. I may have even seen it among the search results I put in looking for the article on Metafilter, but without remembering the term "anchoress" (as elsietheeel was so kind to provide), I was in the dark.
Credit to you both, and I hope that the next thing that slips your minds returns as quickly as you made this return to mine. I can now sleep relieved!
