Abstract
Pule Bents: a possible kill site in the central Pennines
P B Stonehouse
1 - 7
A spatial analysis of microliths recovered during excavations led by R Jacobi at the site in 1983. It is suggested that the assemblage may represent a scatter of projectile points left at a place large game was ambushed, rather than debris from flint knapping. An alternative, that the assemblage results from vegetable processing, is thought unlikely.
A stone axe-hammer, Robin Hood's Penny Stone and stone circle at Wainstalls, Warley near Halifax, West Yorkshire
Raymond A Varley
9 - 20
Discusses an object reportedly found at the site in 1872 and which, although subsequently lost, has been relocated and is now held in the Tolson Memorial Museum, Huddersfield. Consideration of the find's provenance includes an account of the Robin Hood fable associated with the Wainstalls Penny Stone and the belief that it was once at the centre of a stone circle (unproven by excavations in 1964). A description of the axe-hammer highlights the difficulty of dating such objects and considers its possible function.
The Knapton generating station and gas pipeline excavations
Jenny Lee
21 - 38
Reports on excavations carried out in 1993 and 1994 at East Knapton in the Vale of Pickering on the site of the generating station and along an 18km pipeline corridor. Six archaeological sites were identified and recorded, including a previously unknown RB settlement at the extreme eastern end of the corridor. Elsewhere along the corridor multi-period field boundaries, trackways, an undated structure and pits provided evidence for activity within the western area of the Vale. `Roman pottery' is discussed by Jon Dore (34--5) and `Palaeoenvironmental samples' are examined by Jacquiline P Huntley (35--7).
Recent Romano-British metal detector finds in the Sheffield and Rotherham Museum collections and their relationship to rural settlement patterns in South Yorkshire
Martin J Dearne
Julien Parsons
39 - 92
Catalogues and discusses the significance of finds from thirteen concentrations and find-spots located on the magnesian limestone between Doncaster and Chesterfield. The objects are mostly of copper alloy and are predominantly brooches.
Anglo-Saxon sundials in Ryedale
John Wall
93 - 117
A study of the sundials and their inscriptions from the district that has a remarkably high proportion of the surviving examples from England (nine out of thirty-eight). Saxon systems of time measurement are also discussed.
Excavations in the Deanery gardens and Low St Agnesgate, Ripon, North Yorkshire
Mark Whyman
119 - 163
Reports based on study of the archives of the excavations carried out on two sites near the Minster in 1974 and 1977--78, respectively. Medieval occupation was recorded, including remains of buildings of twelfth- to thirteenth-century date and a ditch terminal (possibly part of the cathedral precinct boundary). There are finds reports covering: `The pottery' by A J Mainman (129--45); `Ceramic building material' by S Garside-Neville (145--6); and `The ironwork' by P J Ottaway (146--8); while miscellaneous objects (including copper alloy, lead, bone, stone, and window glass) are noted in `Other artefacts' by N S H Rogers (149--52).
York as a tidal port
Colin Briden
165 - 171
Attempts to reconstruct the tidal regime that existed on the upper reaches of the River Ouse prior to the construction of the weir at Naburn in 1757, with the aim of establishing a set of tidal constants that can be used in the interpretation of the city's waterfront deposits. Evidence is derived from early hydrological surveys (dated 1690 and 1727) and from excavations of Roman waterside structures.
Thomas Browne, William Wright and the Slingsby monuments at Knaresborough
Adam White
193 - 208
Discusses a series of memorials that are considered of great interest because of the range of styles and iconography and wealth of contemporary documentation.
Dewsbury Inclosure 1796--1806
John F Broadbent
209 - 226
Discusses documentary evidence for the enclosure of the common fields of the Yorkshire township.
A note on the font figure in All Saints' church, Aston, South Yorkshire (SK 4685)
Frank Bottomley
227 - 229
Tentatively reinterprets the figure of a `soldier' on the base of the fourteenth-century font as a carpenter carrying one of the tools of his trade, suggesting that the subject may have been so honoured if he had been killed in an accident whilst working on the church.
