Abstract:		 From 1976 to 1981 excavations were undertaken by York Archaeological Trust at 16-22 Coppergate, York (NGR SE 6046 5168; Figure 1). The excavation methodology for the site has already been eloquently described in detail in previous publications (Hall et. al. 2014), and is not repeated here. Although the site is internationally renowned for its Anglo-Scandinavian archaeology, the site also revealed significant archaeological remains of Roman date.The Roman remains were first located in 1980, in a strip approximately 7.5m wide adjacent to the present street frontage. The Roman deposits included a small mid-4th century inhumation cemetery comprising six burials and an empty grave cut, together with a possible cemetery boundary ditch.An extension to the period available for excavation in 1981 led to the investigation of an area 37 x 12m in size along the south-western side of the site, at right angles to the street frontage. Although this yielded further Roman remains, no additional burials were present (Figure 2). A narrative detailing the sequence of Roman remains at the site was produced by Hall, Evans and Ottaway (2011, 199-221) using details from the original Level III report archive report (Evans 1997). In 2003 the six burials were assessed by Dr S. Mays from the Ancient Monuments Laboratory, English Heritage (now the Research Department of Historic England).The present report was commissioned and funded by Historic England to ensure the publication and dissemination of this small but important group of burials. The report collates the information relating to the excavated remains (based on Hall et al. 2011, 213-7) and the osteological analysis of the six skeletons recovered (Mays 2003). Details of the individual graves are given in the burial catalogue.
