Introduction
The Iron Age Ouse and Derwent Project was a community archaeology research project investigating the late prehistoric landscape in the southern Vale of York, in an area bounded by the Ouse and Derwent Rivers. Four geophysical surveys and excavations on settlement sites took place over 2017-2019, revealing a complex but well-organised landscape stretching from the Middle Iron Age all the way into the later Roman period. The project involved over 100 volunteers from around the country, who were trained in geophysical survey, excavation and recording.
This archive represents the final results of the fieldwork, alongside the material archive deposited at the Yorkshire Museum (finds and original drawings on permatrace). All context records were created digitally on site using a tablet database system, while registers and drawings were digitised during the post-excavation process. Full trench plans were created digitally using 3D photogrammetric models, along with a small number of feature plans or sections.
