Excavation of a Late Neolithic burial site at Fulforth Farm, Witton Gilbert, County Durham	Fiona Baker James Wright	1 - 21	Describes the excavation in 1996 of a burial site overlooking the Upper Browney Valley in the western edge of the City of Durham which resulted from the discovery of a large cup and ring marked sandstone slab brought up by the plough in the previous year. It is suggested that the combination of cremation material, imputed inhumations, carved stones and artefact deposition with secure dating evidence shed fresh light on the burial ritual of the late Neolithic/Early Bronze Age.

Excavations at the site of a prehistoric enclosure near Bowburn, County Durham, 2007	David J Graham	23 - 37	Presents the main results of archaeological work conducted in advance of the construction of a link road between Bowburn and Byers Garth, County Durham.

Also describes two other areas of archaeological significance of medieval and post-medieval date along the route of the link road.
Excavations at the church of St Mary-the-less, Durham city	Norman Emery Joy Langston	39 - 65	Reports small-scale excavations carried out under the church floor and in the churchyard, preliminary to alterations.

The deserted medieval village of High Worsall, North Yorkshire	Robin Daniels	67 - 98	Draws together the results of Time Team investigation in 1997 with subsequent work. These investigations demonstrated that the settlement was significantly larger than the visible earthworks and identified it as a planned settlement with a manorial enclosure. A building interpreted as a 'long house' was partially excavated while excavation on the 'village green' suggested an earlier phase of planned settlement.
