Iron Age and Roman Settlement at Brough South, East Riding of Yorkshire
Excavations to the southeast of Brough on a site close to the Humber estuary identified three phases of an Iron Age roundhouse, where a community raised sheep and pigs, grew cereals, spun wool and made their own pots. This was followed by early Roman-British boundary and trackway ditches, albeit with likely Iron Age origins. Activity apparently ceased in the second century AD and this might reflect wetter conditions over time with settlement movi…

Excavation of a pre-Conquest Cemetery at Addingham, West Yorkshire
EXCAVATIONS at Addingham in Wharfedale uncovered part of a cemetery which, on the evidence of radiocarbon analysis, can be dated to the 8th to 10th centuries A.D. At that period Addingham was an estate of the archbishops of York, and it was to here that Archbishop Wulfhere fled in 867 to escape the Danes. A total of 55 graves were investigated, yielding the remains of perhaps 80 individuals. Of these, about 40 wert undisturbed primary interments;…

Short Reviews
The Vernacular Threshold of Northern Peasant Houses
From the 13th century onwards, medieval peasant houses were generally furnished with stone foundations. Yet they are usually supposed to have continued as 'impermanent' structures, able to survive only for decades. It is suggested here, on the basis of archaeological evidence from northern England, that such houses were in fact built to last for centuries; that they represent earlier generations of 'poor quality' permanent dwellings which have su…
Village Depopulation in the 17th and 18th Centuries
Many Northumberland villages were either wholly or substantially depopulated in the 17th and 18th centuries. The exceptionally well-documented examples discussed here show that desertion was a by-product of a wider agrarian reorganization, the aim of which was to convert open-field townships into series of severalty farmholds. The fate of a settlement depended much upon the precise application of such policies to a particular township, and upon i…
