Integration of age-at-death and novel peptide sex estimation reveals cattle culling practices at Yorkshire Iron Age shrine site
Amelogenin peptide sex estimation is growing in bioarchaeological applications, with new studies focusing on developing rapid and inexpensive methods to enable sex estimations of larger numbers of samples. The main focus of these studies is hominin remains, with very few publications implementing amelogenin peptide analysis for faunal sex estimations, and no publications successfully employing high-throughput methods for large numbers of faunal r…
Obituary Terence “Terry” George Manby 1933 – 2025
On Thursday 28th March 2025, the Yorkshire region lost one of its most important and respected archaeologists aged 91, who died peacefully at his Market Weighton home. Terry was born in August 1933
The Arras Culture of Eastern Yorkshire – Celebrating the Iron Age: "Proceedings of “Arras 200 – celebrating the Iron Age." Royal Archaeological Institute Annual Conference.
In 1817 a group of East Yorkshire gentry opened barrows in a large Iron Age cemetery on the Yorkshire Wolds at Arras, near Market Weighton, including a remarkable burial accompanied by a chariot with two horses, which became known as the King’s Barrow. This was the third season of excavation undertaken there, producing spectacular finds including a further chariot burial and the so-called Queen’s barrow, which contained a gold ring, many glass be…

New light on old iron: Recent work on Iron Age iron production, consumption and deposition in Britain
Over the last decade, there has been a noticeable increase in the number of projects and discoveries relating to Iron Age iron in the UK. These include the discovery of one of the earliest smelting furnaces at Messingham, North Lincolnshire, an extensive industry along the Thames Valley and finds of iron objects including swords and spearheads within the graves of the Arras culture of Eastern Yorkshire, for example at Pocklington. There has also …

Iron, Landscape and Power in Iron Age East Yorkshire
More iron objects have been found in East Yorkshire than in any other part of Iron Age Britain of comparable size, largely in the burials of the Arras Culture, named after the excavations at Arras near Market Weighton (1815–17). The region also contains one of Britain's largest prehistoric iron production centres, contemporary with the Arras Culture. This article aims to contribute to re-establishing early iron production and consumption, and its…
Ceremony and Carpentry? Neolithic Stone Axeheads in an East Yorkshire (UK) Lowland Landscape
Survey and research undertaken of a 20x30km study area in the Foulness Valley, East Yorkshire, has resulted in the location of over 70 polished stone and flint axeheads. Examination of many of these tools suggests heavy use and reworking, yet a number, the most impressive in terms of workmanship and aesthetics, remain in pristine condition. This contribution discusses the significance of the distribution of these tools and considers possible expl…

Settlement and economy in a changing prehistoric lowland landscape: An East Yorkshire (UK) case study
This article assesses the major changes in landscape and coastline, which took place in an area adjacent to the northern shore of the inner estuary of the river Humber, in East Yorkshire, UK, from the beginning of the Holocene to the Iron Age. It considers the effect of these changes on material culture as represented by artefact distributions, including flint assemblages and polished stone tools located during field survey. The conclusions prese…
