Yorkshire Archaeology
A speciality of York Archaeological Trust
Based in York, the county’s historic centre, and with an office in Sheffield, South Yorkshire, York Archaeological Trust has been investigating archaeology in Yorkshire and beyond since 1972.
Commissioned on behalf of a wide range of local, regional, national and international developers, as well as government bodies, charitable and research institutions, YAT has worked from Whitby, Richmond and Skipton in the north to Sheffield, Doncaster, Tickhill Castle and Conisborough in the south, and from Hull, Patrington and Withernsea in the east to Leeds, Barnsley, Huddersfield and Wakefield in the west.
YAT has explored the open spaces of the Yorkshire Dales and North York Moors, as well as agricultural and village sites across the county, and complex historic towns such as York. YAT has recorded the hidden history of buildings ranging from Ripon Cathedral and York Minster to iron foundries, gas works and flour mills. We undertake archaeological surveys, assessments, excavations and a range of other professional services across all periods and in all types of conditions.
York Archaeological Trust publishes Yorkshire Archaeology Today, a round-up of some of our exciting discoveries. And for those who want to be involved hands-on in Yorkshire archaeology, or simply learn about it in the company of other enthusiasts, our Community Archaeologist may be able to help or advise; we run lecture, teaching and training courses in which Yorkshire archaeology figures prominently.
If you live or work in the county, or are simply interested in it, discovering Yorkshire archaeology will open your eyes to many aspects of the county’s past, from the distant prehistoric period right up to the industrial revolution and modern times.
You can get more information on our services and our discoveries from this website.
