Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
This article discusses the recorded archaeological evidence for activity in Holderness during the Roman period. The research demonstrates that the region is far from being an archaeological void, instead a range of Roman period artefacts have been found distributed widely across the Holderness plain. Coin and pottery evidence shows that activity took place throughout the Roman period. A number of occupation sites have been identified and it is suggested that subsistence was agricultural in nature. An examination of aerial photographic evidence revealed over 100 records to sites of potential prehistoric or Roman activity. There appears to be a correlation between the location of the evidence and areas of alluvium and water courses. This may indicate that water transport, and access to the River Humber, was important. Though the nature of the activity is poorly understood and the evidences asks more questions than it answers, there is archaeology yet to be discovered and the area is deserving of a more detailed investigation. | |||||
