This study was commissioned by the council and English Heritage. It investigated the future of archaeology in York and the potential conflict between development and archaeology.

The study was intended to:

• update the knowledge of the city's archaeological resources, and
• provide a framework to ensure the development of sites in the city are secured in a way that conserves archaeological resources.

The report of the study sets out a framework for future archaeology and recommends an approach to development and archaeology in York.

The report is currently out of print. Contact us if you would like copies of parts of it.
