Abstract:
Reports on a forthcoming excavation programme to take place in Riverside Gardens, York, in the wake of several months of watching briefs and in advance of building work. It is hoped to reveal further evidence for the pre-Roman waterfront of the Ouse, as well as information on the environment, the Roman waterfront, and later development through Anglo-Saxon and medieval times. Preliminary piling work has already established the presence of well preserved organic deposits and once modern deposits have been machined away it is thought that the trench to be excavated by hand will be amongst the deepest in York to date.
