ROMAN burials, Anglo-Saxon defences and medieval artefacts are part of the Faithful City's rich archaeological history published in a new report.
The Council of British Archaeology has published its findings of excavations carried out where the CrownGate shopping centre on Deansway was later built.
The investigation into the buried history was carried out in 1988/89.
The excavation unearthed prehistoric to post-medieval finds, including a foundry, where bronze was cast. Roman burials and parts of the Anglo-Saxon defences of the city were also revealed to the light of day.
The Excavations at Deansway research report costs £32. It is available from York Publishing Services, 64, Hallfield Road, York, YO31 7ZQ, or e-mail orders@yps-publishing.co.uk
