Abstract: |
An excavation in the treasury under-croft area of York Minster. The work was necessitated by construction works associated with York Minster Revealed, a major Heritage Lottery Funded program of improvements to visitor access and experience at York Minster, which include complete refurbishment of the Under-croft. The treasury forms the eastern wing of the Under-croft, where the installation of new stairs and a platform wheelchair lift required the cutting back of structural concrete dating from the emergency engineering works of 1967-1972. This exposed a block of significant in situ archaeological deposits that had to be excavated. Additionally, the design of the new lift required the partial dismantling and subsequent re-recording of a major Roman wall, first exposed in 1970. Following this, all Roman structures in the Under-croft were re-recorded. |
