This volume draws together for the first time all the fieldwork
known to have taken place from the earliest located trenches in the
1720s up until the modern campaigns of Fulford. It integrates this
work with a new geophysical survey of 217ha to provide a new
overarching narrative for the town. The volume starts with a
historiography of work on the city from earliest antiquarian
investigations. This sense of changing interpretations of the site
permeates all the later discussion, showing how new discoveries
have transformed understandings. The core of the volume contains
the empirical data, mapping the past excavations alongside evidence
from aerial photography, fieldwalking, LiDAR and geophysics. The
final sections provide essays in interpretation, with thematic
reviews of: the defenses; the development of the oppidum; the
military connection; the mortuary landscape; trade and industry;
and pubic entertainment. Finally a narrative overview examines how
the town's remains have been interpreted within an historical
setting.
