In 2018 a detailed article was published in this journal that sought to reassess the context, dating and significance of the Malham Pipe: a bone flute made from the tibia of a sheep or goat, found with one of thirteen secondary burials, in a Bronze Burial mound at the summit of Seaty Hill on Malham Moor. Significantly, this (earlier) article challenged the long-held assumption that the Malham Pipe and secondary burials were Iron Age in date. Howe…
Eostre and the Matronae Austriahenae

The artefact rich Meal Vennel excavation revealed evidence of a possible early western boundary of the town, timber and stone buildings and industrial activities including grain drying and iron smithing. Backland activities including s…
