Welcome to the Wolds Research Project
The Wolds Research Project was established in 2002. It brings together a number of departmental staff in a multi-period research project focussed on a rich archaeological landscape in the environs of the City of York. This web site will evolve as the results of specific sub-projects are added to it. Currently it sets out the overall goals of the project and its sub-themes and provides partial results for the Wharram area.
Map Instructions:
Checking one of the checkboxes to the right of the map turns on the associated map layer and unchecking the box hides the layer.

checkboxes can be turned on and off by using the checkbox to the left of the Field Work Locations heading. Periods can only be turned on
and off individually.
