Hungate - 2000 years of history about to be revealed

Excavation at Hungate has started! Archaeologists digging at Hungate

This archaeological project offers us a rare and exciting opportunity to look at a slice through 2000 years of York's history.

The excavation will uncover the largest area of York to be exposed for over twenty-five years.

From 2006 - 2012 archaeologists will be working continuously, ahead of redevelopment, to recover information about the people of Hungate, their buildings and their way of life.

There will be many ways in which you can learn about these discoveries. The following pages describe our hopes and expectations at the beginning of this project and provide a background against which we can examine our new discoveries.

The menu on the right will take you to different periods in York's history.
