Abstract:

Samples from twenty contexts from medieval and post-medieval deposits from excavations associated with the College of the Vicars Choral, attached to York Minster, were analysed for biological remains. For the most part preservation was poor and interpretative value limited. A few pit fills are shown to have contained faecal material (presumably of human origin), including plant foods. The insect faunas, where large enough, were mostly typical of deposits of this period in York and overall the biota -- or lack of it -- indicates rather clean living conditions. The records will be useful in contributing to an overview of later medieval and post medieval York (see also 93/1212 & 93/1214).
