Abstract
Beneath the castle car park
Jane Lilley
3 - 6
Six trenches were dug to investigate the area prior to possible development work. This part of the city is known to have been occupied since Roman times and appears to have been significant in the Anglian/Anglo-Scandinavian period. Work revealed a post-medieval garden and small brick terraces. However, later building work, including a nineteenth century prison and twentieth century basement, had removed much of the archaeological record.
45--47 Gillygate
Dave T Evans
7 - 10
Excavations at this site uncovered evidence for Romano-British activity during the second and third centuries AD. Artefactual evidence included a Roman knee brooch of copper alloy, a hand bell of similar date, and glass including the base and a substantial amount of the body of a light green tubular rimmed bowl. There was then a period of abandonment until later features from the thirteenth century.
Return to Rawcliffe
Kurt Hunter-Mann
11 - 15
Further investigation in an area known to have medieval and Roman deposits, revealed Roman deposits including pottery, glass and a curvilinear feature thought to be the drain or enclosure ditch of a roundhouse also of Roman date. A patch of charcoal and ash flecks indicating much earlier activity were also noted. Later medieval plough damage accounted for the lack of further evidence.
Warthill and moated sites
Christopher Daniell
16 - 22
Presents historical evidence for the location and ownership of moated sites, with particular emphasis on the significance these data may have for the site at Warthill. There are details of prebendaries.
An archaeological teaser
Allan R Hall
23 - 26
Analysis of the plant remains from Coppergate (York) apparently revealed evidence of wild teasel. However, further work has indicated that the specimens are in fact fullers teasel, used in the cloth industry.
Another sherd -- what a relief!
Ailsa J Mainman
27 - 32
The discovery of the third sherd of Badorf relief-band amphora in York is discussed. This type of vessel might reasonably have been expected to crop up more frequently and its absence may be attributed either to its failure to progress beyond points of entry to the country -- such as Ipswich -- or that the true focus of eighth century activity in York has yet to be located.
