Filename: Wharram_X_Water_Resources.pdf (19 MB) Description: This volume deals with the 1972-83 excavations of the medieval dam and pond at the southern end of Wharram Percy deserted medieval village.

Finds included significant groups of horse bones and horseshoes, marine fish bones and medieval pottery jugs. |
