Description

In January 2002 YAT carried out an archaeological watching brief to the rear of The White House, 10 Clifton, York, during the machine excavation of foundation and drain trenches for a new development. The trenches revealed deposits of natural origin and a probable ploughsoil overlain by 19th -20th century demolition material. In-situ human remains were discovered and partly removed from two areas. Pottery suggested that these remains dated from the Roman period and that they came from a large Roman cemetery known to lie in the area.
