Abstract
Duggleby Howe, Burial J and the eastern Yorkshire club scene
Alex M Gibson
Alan R Ogden
1 - 13
The large round barrow at Duggleby Howe in North Yorkshire (also known as Howe Hill) lies on the southern slope of the upper Gypsey Race valley and is well known in the local and national archaeological literature as one of the largest and richest Neolithic round barrows in Britain. It was first excavated in 1798 or 1799 by the reverend Christopher Sykes but no records remain of his excavation nor do any finds survive. Almost 100 years later, in 1890, J. R. Mortimer re-opened the mound with the sponsorship of Sir Tatton Sykes of Sledmere (Mortimer 1905, 23 '“ 42, No. 273) and excavated an area 40 feet (c.12m) square over the centre of the barrow.\r\n\r\nIn 2006, generously funded by English Heritage, the present writers commenced a re-examination of Mortimer's Duggleby Howe archive. The aim of the project was to obtain radiocarbon dates from the burials within the mound and thus create an absolute chronology on which to anchor the relative sequence. This dating programme is still underway but before any human or animal bone could be used for dating, it was first necessary to record the surviving bones. In so doing, Burial J has proved of particular interest.\r\n

Two unusual Romano-British dragoneque brooches from Well, North Yorkshire
Fraser Hunter
15 - 20
Two recent finds of Romano-British dragonesque brooches from near Well, North Yorkshire, are discussed. They illustrate different aspects of the transfer of Iron Age art styles into the Roman period, one, apparently uniquely, has connections to southern British traditions.\r\n\r\n\r\n
Excavations at Moss Street Depot, Moss Street, York
Nicola Toop
21 - 42
During 2003 and 2004, archaeological evaluation and excavation were undertaken at the site of Moss Street Depot, York, by Field Archaeology Specialists (FAS) Ltd. Six phases of activity were identified, dating from the Roman period to the modern day. This information adds to a growing corpus of evidence for Roman and medieval activity close to and on the Mount. Three phases of Roman activity were defined: Period 1 consisted of rubbish dumping from the colonia and land division of 2nd to early 3rd century date; Period 2 consisted of the establishment of a trackway and possible funerary activity in the 3rd century; and Period 3 consisted of inhumation burial in the later 3rd to 4th century. A hiatus of activity followed, until the 11th to 13th century, when the site was subdivided into a series of linear tofts. Little evidence for post-medieval activity was recovered, prior to the establishment of the Moss Street Depot and associated buildings during the 20th century.\r\nThe reports with full specialist reports are also available online via the OASIS website http://ads.ahds.ac.uk/project/oasis.\r\n\r\n\r\n

An early carved head and Anglo-Danish sculptures at Kildwick Church, North Yorkshire
John Billingsley
43 - 50
In the tower of St Andrew's Church, Kildwick-in-Craven, North Yorkshire, is a carved stone head interpolated into the stonework above the main doorway. It is of a style not found elsewhere in the church, and would benefit from further investigation as to its age and provenance. \r\n\r\nThe head is of a most unusual appearance and does not appear to accord with conventions familiar from medieval or later ecclesiastical architecture. Its closest parallel might lie in some of the cruder carved heads from the Romanesque period, such as at Adel, West Yorkshire. There are also no other carved heads of early date in the church fabric.\r\n
Medieval to modern Baileygate, Pontefract
Chris Fenton-Thomas
51 - 54
by C. Fenton-Thomas\r\n\r\n Recent excavations by On-Site Archaeology have revealed a long sequence of occupation from the medieval period up to the 19th century, on a site close to Pontefract castle. The work was small in scale but identified structural remains and other deposits securely dated to the 12th century. Following this period the site was occupied less intensively until the late 17th or early 18th century when it was landscaped and new property divisions were established. This may have coincided with the reconstruction of the area following the demolition of Pontefract Castle after the Civil War.\r\n\r\n\r\n
The medieval cemetery at Riccall Landing; a reappraisal
Richard A Hall
55 - 92
Human skeletons found by the River Ouse at Riccall in the 1950s and 1980s have hitherto been linked speculatively to the documented defeat of invading Norsemen in 1066. To test this hypothesis, excavation records and surviving artefacts have been reviewed, and the skeletons have been examined osteologically for the first time. Isotope analysis refutes the initial conclusion that individuals buried here originated in Scandinavia; radiocarbon determinations indicate that the cemetery was in use from the 7th to the 12th centuries.

Medieval burgage plots in Bedale, North Yorkshire
Jennifer Proctor
93 - 120
Archaeological investigations undertaken by Pre-Construct Archaeology in 2002 and 2003 on land to the rear of 26 Market Place, Bedale, revealed a sequence of medieval burgage plot boundaries with the recovered pottery assemblage demonstrating that these were in place by at least the 13th-14th century, with reinstatement on a number of occasions. Part of a narrow plot extending back from the street frontage was exposed within the excavated area, with evidence of subdivision. Later medieval activity was represented by the corner of a stone structure, probably an outbuilding, of 14th-15th century date and a yard surface. Developed soils suggested that this backlot area had been used as gardens from the late medieval period until the 19th century.\r\n\r\n\r\n
