Abstract:		 This post-excavation report summarises the 1994 excavations conducted in advance of the North Bridge Relief Road by the now defunct South Yorkshire Archaeology Field and Research Unit at Church Walk, Doncaster, on the site of the former Askew's Print Shop. Following the temporary abandonment of the road engineering scheme and the subsequent closure of SYAFRU, Archaeological Services WYAS were contracted to complete postexcavation processing and assessment work, prior to eventual full publication of the results. The open-area excavation and subsequent analyses have identified four main phases of activity representing nearly two millennia of occupation, from early Roman occupation through to the post-medieval or early modern periods. The archaeological remains included features associated with phases of the Roman fort; medieval tanning pits, crop-processing structures and domestic occupation; and also post-medieval tanning or tawing pits. Two large ditches of uncertain date and function were also recorded, relating to either phases of the Roman fort(s), or early medieval/medieval boundaries. Despite a high degree of disturbance, residuality and intrusion, the excavation results have provided important evidence of the chronological development of this key historical centre of Doncaster. The relatively large pottery assemblage recovered from Church Walk is of great local and regional significance. It has produced many new insights concerning ceramic trade and consumption during the Roman and medieval periods, and has facilitated the development of a medieval ceramic typology for Doncaster.
