• P1307 Land at junction of Dixon Lane and George Street, York
  The site at the junction of Dixon Lane and George Street, York, was of exceptional interest as it produced remains of Roman, Anglian, Anglo Scandinavian, and Medieval date. Forming one of the most complete settlement sequences recovered in York. The primary aim of the excavation was the complete excavation of the Medieval cemetery of St Stephen's church. Over 100 burials were recovered, but all traces of the church had been removed by 19th century truncation of the site. One of the most interesting aspects of the skeletal analysis was the presence of three burials with non-European characteristics. In addition to the Medieval cemetery, remains of settlement of Roman, Anglian, and Anglo Scandinavian date were present together with hints of a Roman cemetery in the vicinity. The sheer density of features across the site was staggering.
