This comprehensive report represents a landmark in the publication of medieval finds from excavations in York. It encompasses very large assemblages of medieval artefacts of a wide variety of materials, including iron, non-ferrous metal, stone, jet, amber, fired clay, glass and textile. These were recovered from four major sites in York, excavated during the 1970s and 1980s, at 16–22 Coppergate, 46–54 Fishergate, Bedern Foundry (hereafter known as the Foundry) and the College of the Vicars Choral of York Minster at Bedern (hereafter Bedern), and also from smaller sites in the vicinity of 16–22 Coppergate (Coppergate watching brief and 22 Piccadilly) and Bedern (2 Aldwark and Bedern Chapel). In total, approximately 6,000 stratified medieval objects are discussed; the bulk of these finds are of metal, either iron (c.3,000 objects, not including c.2,500 nails), or non-ferrous metals (c. 2,000).
