What is Roman, Anglian and Anglo-Scandinavian Activity and a Medieval Cemetery on Land at the Junction of Dixon Lane and George Street about?

In winter 2005/6 York Archaeological Trust undertook an archaeological watching brief at a site at the junction of Dixon Lane and George Street, York (NGR: SE 607 515). This turned into a full-scale excavation following the discovery of abundant human remains. The excavations uncovered the remains of activity or occupation of Roman, Anglian, Anglo-Scandinavian and medieval date, including a medieval cemetery. The site was severely truncated during the late 19th century, an event which had removed most of the later medieval and post-medieval deposits from the site. Among the unusual artefacts recovered from the site were a gold ring and a jet pendant in the shape of a bear, both of Roman date.
