York Historic Environment Record

A small group of samples of sediment, and residues from bulk-sieving, from excavations in 1981 at 1-2 Tower Street, York, has been assessed for their content of biological remains and consequent value for archaeological interpretation. Many of the samples proved to contain at least small numbers of well preserved plant and animal remains. There is some potential for improving some aspects of interpretation at the context and, to a limited extent, site levels, particularly in regard to the history of infilling of the putative Castle ditch.
