Abstract
Medieval and post-medieval plant and invertebrate remains from Area II The Bedern (north-east), York
Deposits of medieval and post-medieval date, many of them associated with the College of the Vicars Choral attached to York Minster, were investigated. A total of thirty-three contexts were examined by means of fifty-two samples. Apart from some pit fills with good preservations by `waterlogging', many of the deposits from this site gave small assemblages of plants and insects. Most of the pit fills gave some evidence for faecal material, probably human, and some were a rich source of food plants, notably fruits and flavourings. Worm eggs were usually well represented in such deposits, and there was sometimes a component of insects associated with foul decomposing matter. Most of the insect assemblages from the site, however, were either interpretatively bland or rich in `house fauna'. The material provides a useful addition to the growing corpus of information concerning post-Conquest medieval (and also to a small extent post medieval) York (see also 93/1213 & 93/1214).
