A0222 Halifax Building Society, Stonebow The 18th century cellar with limestone flag floor of a demolished building was observed in a contractor's trench. The foundations of this cellar, loose rubble of limestone and tile, had been cut into organic material which contained considerable quantities of bone, horn and small timber twigs. Two separate gritstone blocks were observed within the organic material. These were interpreted as probably from a Roman building. The total depth of the excavated trench was 3.50m below ground and suggest the preservation of well stratified Anglo-Scandinavian and Roman deposits in the area.

A0159 Viking Hotel Post-medieval stratification to a depth of 2m below ground surface comprised warehouse stone walls and wooden block floors, beneath which was dumped material interpreted as medieval reclaimed riverside land which sealed dumped organic deposits and alluvial sand. This stratification was observed from borehole cores which extended to a depth of 20m below ground surface.

P0161 16-20 Blossom Street Well-preserved, well-stratified deposits, including a sequence of Roman buildings and a road surface, were observed in contractor's trenches. A medieval pit and build-up deposits were also observed. Modern cellaring had been backfilled with material which included several architectural fragments. These may have derived from alterations made to various churches in York in the 19th century. -
A0091 Treasurer's House Beneath the concrete cellar floor traces of a mortar floor were observed. Beneath this were some deposits including charcoal spreads which were interpreted as pre-construction debris. A post-medieval stone culvert was also observed.

A0085 Parliament Street Sewer It was apparent that repair work on the 19th century sewer had truncated archaeological deposits. However, some observations of previously undisturbed archaeological deposits were possible. Part of the south-east wall of the legionary fortress was seen with chevron tooled plinth stones. An iron ploughshare and coulter were recovered from unstratified levels in the fortress ditch. Part of an upstanding wall of a Roman building was observed. Considerable quantities of demolished material for Roman building were also seen. Two undated ditches were thought to belong to the Roman period. Levels of presumed Anglo-Scandinavian date were observed along the full length of the sewer trench. Their depth increased significantly towards the south-east, the valley of the River Foss. Amorphous peat deposits were seen in quantity. Wicker-lined pits, occasional fence posts, and post and planks from timber buildings were observed. At the south-eastern end of the trench timber sill beams and associated ash floors were observed.
