Abstract: |
The assessment identified evidence for the likely preservation of archaeological deposits including well stratified and well preserved waterlogged organic remains of high archaeological value dating from the Roman to the post-medieval period. The area was within the Roman canabae. In the Anglo-Scandinavian period it was likely that Hungate would have been lined with timber buildings. In the 13th century a large part of the site was devoted to a Carmelite Friary and a wharf. During the 16th century the King's Fishpool was used as a public rubbish dump. Following the canalisation of the River Foss in the late 18th century the area was developed for heavy industry with an early Victorian gasworks and large scale flour milling. [Au(abr)] |
