Abstract
IN 1959 Mr. Dudley Waterman published the first modern summary of Anglo-Danish artifacts found in York1 and it says much for his work that very little needs adding or modifying. This paper examines some aspects of Danish York which were not discussed by Waterman and records information which throws more light on the nature of everyday life in the Anglo-Danish city. This has been made possible by the considerable advance in knowledge on a national scale of 10th- and 11th-century pottery, and by recent developments in York. Intensive study of the history, architecture and archaeology of York by investigators of the Royal Commission on Historical Monuments has developed the first tentative ideas of the nature of the city defences, and of the street plan, and has thus led to greater knowledge of its economic life.2Keywords
