Abstrakt:	Several burn marks on timbers from a Roman building in London were recorded after excavation in the 1980s. Detailed investigation and experimental archaeology lead to the conclusion that the burn marks were made accidentally with an oil lamp, not deliberately. Such accidents would, however, be rare, and the burn marks found widely in post-medieval and medieval buildings of southern Europe must be the result of deliberate ritual activity.
