Subject: Coppergate Environmental Archive


Dear All,

The Environmental Archaeology Unit (EAU) and the Archaeology Data
Service (ADS) are pleased to announce the launch of a new digital
archive:
http://ads.ahds.ac.uk/catalogue/projArch/EAU/coppergate_2001/index.cfm

This archive presents in detail the rich botanical and faunal remains
excavated from the Anglo-Scandinavian site of Coppergate in York - now
famous as the Jorvik Viking Centre.  This new online research collection
provides a detailed insight into important aspects of the archaeology of
Coppergate that have never previously been published.  It includes a
complete listing of species by context for plant and animal remains,
identifications of wood and timber from artefacts and structures, as
well as the full text of the 5 volume technical report published in
1995.

This substantial archive is available at no cost for teaching, learning
and research, and will be supplemented by further environmental
collections in the near future.

All best wishes,

William
