A Bridge Between Two Worlds? Reflections on a Late Roman Bone Plaque from York
Evidence for Christianity in Roman York is sparse, but an object thought to be Christian in sentiment is an openwork bone plaque from a burial dated to the fourth century. Study of the inscription suggests it was carefully composed to create a series of patterns in the number of words and letters. These patterns may be interpreted in terms of aspects of the Christian faith. They are similar to those found in the inscriptions on funerary monuments…

Eboracum (York)
Eboracum (York) lies in northeastern England at a point where the River Ouse cuts a ridge of high ground, which was used in prehistoric times as a route across the low lying Vale of York. Strategic considerations led to the foundation of a legionary fortress ca. 71 CE by Legio IX Hispana , engaged in the conquest of the region. York became the base of Legio VI Victrix ca. 122 CE , after which early timber buildings and the fortress defenses were …

St Helen's Church, Skipwith, North Yorkshire
Skipwith church's west tower, of 'pre-Norman', 'Saxo-Norman' or 'early Romanesque' style, has been the focus of a campaign of investigation and analysis which included structural recording and archaeological excavation. A building earlier than this tower was identified; within and around it were burials, some in iron-bracketed wooden coffins, and a piece of newly discovered early ninth-century sculpture confirms the contemporary importance of thi…
The Symbolic Lives of Late Anglo-Saxon Settlements
This paper examines the character and significance of a cellared structure discovered during recent excavations on the site of a later Anglo-Saxon settlement at Bishopstone, East Sussex. The structure in question formed a focal element within an estate centre complex administered by the Bishops of Selsey from c. AD 800, otherwise surviving in the celebrated pre-Conquest fabric of St Andrew's parish church. The excavated footprint of this cellared…

Archaeology in British Towns
Over the last twenty-five years archaeology has revolutionised our knowledge of the early history of British towns. Based on his day-to-day involvement in urban archaeology, Patrick Ottaway reviews the important discoveries and research themes of this period, and considers how long-term urban research projects have revealed new information about towns and the lives of their inhabitants. The work of the urban archaeologist is examined in close det…

Excavations on the Site of the Roman Signal Station At Carr Naze, Filey, 1993–94
Excavations in 1993 and 1994 on Carr Naze, Filey, occasioned by the threat of coastal erosion, revealed remains of the late Roman signal station previously examined in 1857 and 1923. Details of the plan and structures were recorded. Occupation deposits in the courtyard produced a number of stratified coins and other artefacts. Study of the animal bone assemblage has suggested systematic provisioning of the site from a regional base. In the post-R…
Cottam
The presence of Anglian and Anglo-Scandinavian settlements at Cottam, East Yorkshire, was first indicated in 1987 by numerous finds of copper alloy coins, dress pins and strap ends by metal detector users. This report presents the results of fieldwork carried out on behalf of the Department of Archaeology, University of York, between 1993–95, including fieldwalking, geophysical survey, and excavation. This revealed an enclosure of the eighth to n…
Down, but not out
Views of the Late Roman period in England have changed considerably in the past few years, with a tendency towards acceptance of a survival or resurgence of economic and political organization despite earlier decline. Traditional evidence provides some insights into the differential nature of these changes. Here it is argued that 'environmental' (in this case biological) evidence can provide unique insights into economic systems, and that bones a…
Settlement and Monasticism at Ripon, North Yorkshire, From the 7th to 11th Centuries A.D
Archaeological investigations of a number of small sites, combined with information provided by antiquarian writers, indicate the existence of a number of churches and/or cemeteries in the vicinity of Ripon Cathedral. In two cases these demonstrably originate in the 8th century or earlier, and in the other, less well documented instances an early origin seems likely. It is suggested that these sites are early ecclesiastical nuclei associated with…
Excavation of a Saxon Site at Riby Cross Roads, Lincolnshire
Correlation between features excavated in advance of a gas pipeline, and cropmarks photographed some years previously, led to identification of a Saxon rural settlement, occupied from the sixth or seventh century through to the mid-ninth century. It comprised several interconnected enclosures, adjacent to two main trackways. A narrow strip was excavated through the settlement, and five possible sunken-featured buildings, and numerous ditches and …
Pagans Hill Revisited
This report reviews and updates the evidence from the Roman temple site of Pagans Hill, Chew Stoke, North Somerset, which was partly excavated between 1949 and 1953. This includes a revised terminus post quem for the initial building of the temple complex of c. A.D. 262 and an emphasis of the importance of the location of the well on the axis of a planned layout. This is accompanied by a resumé of a reassessment by George Boon of the sculpture of…
A Burial from the South Aisle of Winchester Cathedral
In February 1980 the Winchester City Archaeology Office undertook the excavation of a burial discovered by workmen in the south aisle of Winchester Cathedral. A partly decomposed skeleton and the remains of woollen clothing and leather shoes were found contained in a stone coffin. Analysis of the skeletal material, textile and leather combined with the evidence of its location suggest the burial of a man of high status in medieval society. On the…
