Aldwark Viking Camp: Illustrated Artefact Catalogue, 2024
No full textThis archive presents the Aldwark finds catalogue, which includes finds from a site, initially known as Ainsbrook. A major Viking camp was identified by metal-detecting in North Yorkshire, and first reported in 2003. It may have been first occupied when the Viking Great Army was reportedly in York in 866-7 and 868-9, but the coinage demonstrates it was still in use in the later 870s. The site was initially known as Ainsbrook, a portmanteau of the surnames of the metal detectorists who discovered it, Mark Ainsley and Geoff Bambrook, and subsequently published as 'A Riverine site near York' (Hall and Williams 2020). It is located to the north of the village of Aldwark, c.20 km northwest of York, where the River Ouse becomes the Ure. The Viking assemblage at Aldwark can be compared with that from Torksey https://doi.org/10.5284/1115932 and together they provide an opportunity to study the activities of the Great Army. The results of the research have been published in Dawn M Hadley and Julian D Richards, with Dave Haldenby, Gareth Perry, and Mark Randerson (2024). The Viking Great Army: Tents to Towns. Oxford University Press. This catalogue and the equivalent catalogue for Torksey provides the underpinning data for that monograph but has it has also been released so that it can also be reused for further research projects on the material culture of the Viking Great Army

Data from a Trial Trenching at Culworth Road Chipping Warden, Northamptonshire, 2020 (HS2 Phase One)
No full textThis collection comprises of images, report, CAD, spreadsheet, site record and harris matrix data from trial trenching at Culworth Road Chipping Warden, Northamptonshire, 2020. A trial trench evaluation comprising 42 trenches wad undertaken at Culworth Road, as part of ongoing works in advance of HS2. Trenching revealed low levels of activity in the Neolithic to Bronze Age.

This can also function as a guide to digital archiving for future infrastructure projects benefiting both the commercial sector and the research community
