Abstract
Watching Walmgate
Dave T Evans
3 - 8
An evaluation excavation on an area of Walmgate that backs on to St Margaret's churchyard took the form of three trenches, with a nearby fourth at Paver Lane. Activity was evidenced from the tenth century through to the post medieval era. Anglo-Scandinavian floor levels were noted, along with a wattle lined pit, cobble surfaces, metalled surfaces, crushed clay moulds, a shallow grave containing a skeleton, a possible medieval lane surface which may have been an earlier incarnation of Paver Lane, and robbed out stone walls of the fifteenth to sixteenth centuries. Small finds included a copper alloy disc brooch with red enamel inlay, iron nails, strips and bars, and an antler tine.
Looking for lepers on Lawrence Street
Dave T Evans
9 - 12
Documentary evidence indicated that buildings associated with the leper hospital of St Nicholas, York, were located in the Lawrence Street area. Excavation in advance of building work confirmed the presence of substantial stone structures, although no graves were found.
Jewson's in July
Jane Lilley
13 - 16
Trenches and boreholes at a site on Piccadilly (York) revealed evidence of Roman activity in the form of pits and postholes, though the area was not large enough to gauge their exact function or nature. Anglian and Anglo-Scandinavian evidence was seen in the recovery of a glass bead and clay dumps to raise the ground surface. Early medieval stakeholes and a rubbish pit were also found. No trace of the graveyard from St Stephen's church was located.
Mystery at St Maurice's
Jane Lilley
17 - 20
Three trial trenches uncovered Roman features including a probable timber lined drain characterised by a gully with almost vertical sides containing inward- pointing iron nails. Third century pottery, a series of dumps, a boundary ditch or possible robbed out wall trench, and a post hole were also located.
