41St Annual Report 2012–13 the Trust’S Mission York Archaeological Trust 41st Annual Report 2012–13 The Trust’s Mission York Archaeological Trust, recognising the exceptional importance of York’s historic environment, will provide and promote archaeology of the highest possible standards in York, its region and beyond. By excellence in archaeological discovery, research, conservation, curation, academic dissemination and through training, education and widely accessible public presentation, the Trust, an educational charity, will maximise the public benefits of archaeology.

In terms of the annual objectives supplied to the Charity Commission, the Trust made significant progress. • The Trust bought the freehold of a large warehouse to save substantial annual rents, provide a single site for the storage of its archaeological collection, and enable large-scale timber conservation. • YAT broadened the scope of its educational work: developing its first Yorkshire Medieval Festival; establishing an exhibition in Durham; working on the Terry Suthers MBE FMA re-display of important material in Govan; and participating in the Halifax FRSA DL, Festival. Chairman of the Trust • The Trust initiated the integration of its archaeological activities across the four 2 regional offices: providing specialist environmental services from its Glasgow laboratories; providing conservation services from York; sharing fieldwork staff between offices; and working collaboratively on digital services. As regards longer-term goals, the consolidation of operations across four offices enables the Trust to widen the range of its archaeological work. Meanwhile the Conservation Laboratory continues to provide a world-class service on internationally significant material from both the UK and abroad and YAT continues to publish research and enables others to undertake research using its collections. Every year our Attractions provide entertaining, stimulating and educational opportunities for hundreds of thousands of visitors of all ages and backgrounds. In addition, our development of wider events, most notably the annual Viking Festival, provides significant benefits to the wider community and other organisations in York. Thus, despite the economic adversity of the times, the Trust has continued to develop and operate at the cutting edge of archaeological practice and to bring its benefits to an increasingly wide audience. This has only been possible due to the flexibility and enthusiasm of our staff, who seek to create possibilities for people to enjoy and learn about the past, even when funding is challenging and the wider environment unfavourable. This innovative character of the Trust is no small testament to the leadership of the Chief Executive, John Walker, who after ten years at the helm took retirement at the end of March 2013. John led the Trust through a period of significant growth in both its Attractions and Events Division and in its Archaeology and Heritage Division, expanding its operations across northern England, the Midlands and into Scotland. I wish to record the Board’s sincere and deep appreciation of John’s commitment and hard work on behalf of the Trust. On a sadder note it is important to pause and reflect on the very sad loss of a number of people closely associated with the Trust. Professor Barrie Dobson, former Chairman of the Board, passed away on 29 March 2013, and, while outside of the period of reporting, the sudden death on 24 June 2013 of Mick Aston, a serving Trustee, came as a deep shock not only to everyone in the Trust but also to the wider world of archaeology and far beyond. In spite of retirement and loss, the Trust, now more than 40 years old, stands as a very real tribute to all of those who have given their time and energy to its work and its development. My Fellow Trustees and I very much appreciate our responsibilities in carrying on the values that have sustained the Trust, and are immensely proud of the achievements of all of its staff and volunteers who continue to work tirelessly with professionalism and passion. We are therefore particularly pleased at this important juncture in the Trust’s forward development to be able to welcome David Jennings as our incoming Chief Executive. David’s professional standing and management achievements as CEO of Oxford Archaeology speak volumes for his vision and capabilities. In this period of severe financial challenge for archaeology in the UK generally, it is a great comfort to the Board to know that we continue to have the quality of leadership firmly in place which will enable the Trust to sustain its enviable position as a leading charitable organisation in promoting the benefits of archaeological investigation, recording and safeguarding our heritage, and advancing public understanding of the past. Chief Executive’s Report The Trust’s Year 2012–13 By reporting on the past year, I find myself in the odd situation of writing about a year when I was not present in the Trust, having come into post on 2 April 2013. This does, however, possess two advantages. First, it allows me to record the fulsome appreciation by everyone at YAT for the dedicated and inspirational leadership provided to the organisation over the past decade by John Walker, the retiring Chief Executive. In his period of office, the Trust has expanded both its attractions and archaeological operations, now David Jennings operating from four offices and undertaking an immensely wide range of projects. BA FSA MIfA, This Annual Report is a vivid testimony to the professionalism, passion and Chief Executive quality of work undertaken within a single year by YAT. It is a legacy of which Officer John should be legitimately proud. 3 Secondly, in writing this piece, it gives me the personal benefit of becoming more closely acquainted with the work of the Trust and reaffirms the many reasons that I have felt honoured to be able to take over the role of CEO for YAT. Thus, in a year that still presented significant economic challenges, exacerbated by the ‘Olympics effect’, as visitors focused their time and spending on that global sporting jamboree, YAT undertook an astonishing wealth of work. This ranged from continued work on the UK’s largest infrastructure project, the Beauly to Denny power line construction across Scotland, through to ground-breaking laser scanning of Stonehenge, one of the most prestigious World Heritage Sites, revealing unknown prehistoric carvings, details of stone-finishing and enabling reinterpretation of this iconic monument. Elsewhere, YAT’s Conservation Laboratories continued to provide a national and international service on outstandingly important remains, with projects including: the Bronze Age log-boats at Must Farm, Cambridgeshire; the late Bronze Age Brigg Raft; and objects from an Omani shipwreck – most probably that of a Portuguese vessel captained by Vicente Sodré, the uncle of Vasco de Gama, which sank in a storm in 1503. The Trust’s Attractions and Events Division delivered more than 200 events throughout the year, including our first-ever Yorkshire Medieval Festival – a nine-day event with activities across the region including events at Pontefract and Knaresborough Castles. It also developed numerous exhibitions and educational activities; achieved Accredited Museum status for Jorvik, Barley Hall and Dig; participated in international conferences; and received numerous international visits. The 521,000 visitors to YAT’s attractions attest to the high level of social, educational and cultural impact of our work which remains at the core of our charitable purpose. A further demonstration of the Trust’s impact can be found in its publications, which included a sixth volume of oral history of York; a synthetic work on the medieval pottery of York; an exploration of medieval crafts; and an updated research agenda for the East Midlands. I hope that this very rapid summary gives some indication of the richness of the Trust’s work which is reviewed within this report. As someone who has recently joined the Trust, I have been deeply impressed by the expertise, commitment and professionalism of its staff and volunteers. This organisation flourishes, even in tough times, through the qualities of its people and I look forward to working with them all in the future and reporting on a very full year in the next Annual Report. Archaeological Activities The year 2012–13 witnessed a period of appears to be a large 12th- to 13th-century consolidation and re-focus for the Exploration building to the south of the Black Swan was Division in York.

  • Richard Barrie Dobson 1931–2013
    BARRIE DOBSON Richard Barrie Dobson 1931–2013 R. B. DOBSON, known universally as Barrie, died in 2013, at the age of eighty-one. Over a long and distinguished career, he contributed distinct- ively and substantively to an understanding of the ecclesiastical, religious and social history of the English Middle Ages. Born at Stockton-on-Tees on 3 November 1931, Barrie was the son of Richard Henry and Mary Victoria Dobson. The Dobsons had long been established at Brough and Middleton-in-Teesdale; Barrie’s first name, Richard, had been given to the eldest son over successive generations. Barrie spent some of his early years in South America, where his father worked for the Great Western Railway of Brazil: some of the memorabilia of this great engineering adventure remained his proud possessions to the end of his life. In 1939 Barrie’s mother brought him and his sister, Margaret, back to England to prepare for the birth of the youngest child, Marybelle; they first lived at Redcar, but after the outbreak of war evacu- ated themselves to Mickleton, a Teesdale village then in the North Riding of Yorkshire and later transferred to County Durham. His mother and sisters subsequently moved to Middleton, but Barrie remained with his aunt at Mickleton and made the daily journey from there to Barnard Castle School. Barrie’s strong sense of personal and scholarly identity with Yorkshire and County Durham were developed through his early experience of the dramatic landscapes of Low Force and High Force in upper Teesdale. After school, Barrie went straight on to military service in the Army, including time in Malaya during the Emergency, where he was in the Education Corps teaching English.

  • Creating Heritage Vikings, Jorvik and Public Interest Archaeology P Eter Addyman
    Creating heritage Vikings, Jorvik and public interest archaeology P ETER ADDYMAN Dr Peter V. Addyman was the Director of York Archaeological Trust from its foundation in 1972 to 2002, and instigator of the Jorvik Viking Centre. In 2015 he was awarded a British Academy President’s Medal in recognition of his significant efforts in making archaeology and historic heritage publicly accessible. Here he reviews the role of urban archaeology in York in stimulating the growth of a new heritage industry.1 rchaeological excavation as a method of establish- ing the origins and development of British towns A and cities is very much a growth of the last 50 years. Nowadays, prior excavation is almost mandatory when modern re-development schemes threaten to destroy or disturb buried archaeological remains in and around urban centres, but it was not always so. Despite massive post-war re-development in many town centres, prior excavation and recording was then the exception not the rule. When it took place at all – excavation of the Temple of Mithras at Walbrook in London is a famous example – it was usually directed to the study of the Roman past. By Dr Peter Addyman – pictured here (right), together with Lord Stern, the contrast post-war reconstruction in continental towns, President of the British Academy – received his British Academy President’s Medal in a ceremony held at the Academy on 29 September 2015.

    Yorkshire Archaeological Research Framework: resource assessment A report prepared for the Yorkshire Archaeological Research Framework Forum and for English Heritage – project number 2936 RFRA S. Roskams and M. Whyman (Department of Archaeology, University of York) 2005 ABSTRACT This report represents the outcome of research undertaken into the archaeological resources of Yorkshire, using data gathered by SMRs, museums and commercial contractors. It describes the background to the project and its objectives, and the methods used to draw evidence from these diverse sources into a single database. It then proceeds to describe patterning in the data thus collected and collated, first at a general level across the region, then on a chronological basis from the Palaeolithic to Early Modern periods. In each period, the implications of this patterning for archaeological understanding of Yorkshire are drawn out.
