1.3.1 Critical thinking and problem solving:
1.3.2 Communication and collaboration:
1.3.3 Creativity and imagination:
1.3.4 Student leadership:
1.3.5 Citizenship:
1.3.5 Digital literacy:
2. Overview of Project
2.1 What we are going to do: The Friends of High Hunsley (FoHH), Ethos Heritage CIC (EH CIC), local stakeholders and local community groups propose to undertake further archaeological and cultural heritage work and training on the site of a Deserted Medieval Village (DMV) at High Hunsley, East Riding of Yorkshire. While we will ensure that all the archaeological works meet national standards, we also want to an employ an approach that helps address wellbeing, creates community cohesion and makes our community a better place to live.
2.2 Why: The diverse communities and economy of the local area along with the location of the proposed project near the heart of a community in the Yorkshire Wolds make the area ideal for a project aimed at bringing about positive social change through archaeology and heritage skills training.
2.3 Aim: We will run a three-week project using heritage aimed at local individuals, member of the civilian population who suffer from social exclusion, risk of crime, mental health issues or lack of employment/education opportunities and veterans. We will also have a project that is environmentally sustainable and leaves a lasting legacy in making the area a nicer place to live and work.
2.4 Our approach is based on a Research Strategy which the Dept of Culture, Media, Sport and Heritage has mandated as the strategic approach to be taken for heritage projects in creating healthier and united communities.
2.5 The main strategies are:
a. Enabling people to live healthy, fulfilling lives. Being physically active, experiencing art, culture, heritage and finding meaningful engagement with local communities through volunteering and other social interactions.
b. To train local communities in new media technologies.
c. Focusing on place offers a means of reconnecting with people so building social cohesion, reducing isolation, crime and creating an environment to unite communities.
2.6 This has driven the project to create a “Place Focused Project” approach to measure the impact this will have we will undertake research that enables us to accurately measure and demonstrate the impact of place-based initiatives in the short, medium and long term on our community.
2.7 As a project we want to be very clear on what we want to achieve and validate during the duration of the project:
2.7.1 Show the impact of volunteering and physical activity on our participants across five key outcomes.
1. Physical wellbeing; 2. Mental wellbeing; 3. Individual development; 4. Social and community development; 5. Economic development.
2.7.2. Research on the economic and social impacts of heritage on our local surroundings e.g., increasing mutual understanding, community cohesion etc.
2.7.3. Evidence to help understand the impact heritage can have on an individual e.g., the role of heritage in daily life and the relationship between heritage and identity, health and well-being.
2.7.4. Research into the drivers of cultural engagement and participation, in particular by age, socio-economic background, disability, ethnicity, gender, and sexuality.
2.7.4. Preferences and supply of culture due to technological innovations, in particular the role digital culture (social media) can play in reaching new and existing audiences within our communities.
2.7.5. Research into the impact of digital culture and levels of digital maturity and skills gaps has on our area and their understanding of their heritage.
2.7.6 Research into the impact of cultural and heritage on our participants and community in terms of:
Cultural, economic and social impacts on communities Educational outcomes, career progression, and future skills gaps. Wellbeing and other individual impacts e.g., health, emotional development, inspiration, and self-confidence etc.
Wider social impacts of cultural such as trust, community cohesion and criminal justice.
2.7.7 Help our community recover from the social and economic trauma of the COVID Pandemic.
3. Site Identification and Location
3.1 Name – High Hunsley- Deserted Medieval village (DMV) at Hunsley (Rowley Parish)
3.2 The Site is centred around Grid Ref. S953 E351 (495300 435150) on the southern side of the B1230; Pastscape- NMR 64077; Humber HER number 3523
3.3 Scheduled monument status - Written confirmation received date 25th July 2019 from Historic England that this is not a scheduled monument.
4. RESEARCH SUMMARY
4.1 The site of the High Hunsley DMV has been, from 2019 to 2021, the subject of non-invasive topographical (EDAS 2020), magnetometry (Alison 2022; Lyall 2022), resistivity (Coates 2022).
4.2 A very comprehensive series of drone surveys using the very latest techniques have also been conducted by Tony Hunt. Free Lidar images have also been downloaded and interpreted.
4.3 In addition a desk top survey has been undertaken by Richard Lamb (Lamb 2022) and an online search for any available archive material has been carried out (Coates 2019).
4.4 Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) surveys are pending. And we hope to do later in the year
4.5 All of these techniques have provided a detailed outline of what remains of the layout of the DMV however none are able to provide specific information relating to the following questions:
4.5.1. The state of preservation of any of the identified structures. 4.5.2. The type and purpose of these structures.
Ethos Heritage CIC
4.5.3. Dating evidence relating to and abandonment of the DMV
4.5.4. The type of husbandry practiced and the economy.
4.5.5 The identification / investigation of geophysical anomalies.
4.6 The proposal is that by the targeted open area excavation(s) this Project will attempt to provide answers, information and details relating to the above questions.
5. Project Design
5.1 The excavations will be carried out by community volunteers under the direct supervision and guidance of experienced and qualified archaeologist(s).
5.2 All the work will be conducted in accordance with standard archaeological practices.
5.3 To increase awareness of the local historic landscape, build local skills capacity and assemble a committed group of advocates to help support the local heritage scene over the long term.
5.4 The aim of the archaeological evaluation is to gather sufficient information to establish the presence/absence, nature, date, depth, quality of survival and importance of any archaeological deposits, to enable an assessment of the potential and significance of the archaeology of the site.
5.6 Determine the presence/absence and extent of any features of archaeological interest, including burials.
5.7 Should features of interest be identified and further works be necessitated, the aims of the subsequent evaluation by targeted excavation will be to:
5.8 Identify and record all archaeological features and artefacts exposed during the excavations.
5.8.1 Establish the sequence of any and all archaeological deposits.
5.8.2 Determine the form and function of any archaeological features identified.
5.8.3 Retrieve dating and palaeoecological evidence from archaeological features.
5.8.4 Identify any spatial distribution of activity.
5.9 The results will be presented in appropriate detail in a post-excavation report, including the integration of the results of any previous archaeological schemes (geophysical surveys and trial trenches). The results of all the fieldwork will assessed in order to provide recommendations as to the need, or otherwise, for further research on any of the excavated material. It will also determine, should they
be of any archaeological significance the appropriate methods for dissemination of the results.
5.10 All archaeological work will be carried out to standards conforming to those espoused in the Chartered Institute for Archaeologists’ Standard and Guidance (CIfA2014a; b) and Historic England guidelines (hereafter HE), formally English Heritage, (English Heritage 2006a; Historic England 2015).
6. Method Statement and Strategies
6.1 Excavation
6.1.1 The excavation will comprise of the monitoring of the targeted topsoil stripping and excavation of a 10m x 25m open area trench located to the south of the central hollow way and in the area of a probable building platform. This is to ascertain the extent of preservation in respect of the interpretation of the results of the features indicated by the five types of surveys.
6.1.2 The first stage of the excavation will involve identifying, planning and photographing features to an acceptable standard. Should a small number of such features be located, a decision will be made whether to sampleexcavate them. Should more extensive or significant features be exposed, a meeting will be convened to determine further strategy. This could entail further archaeological recording and excavation (‘preservation by record’).
6.1.3 A sufficient sample of any archaeological features and/or deposits revealed will be excavated in an archaeologically controlled and stratigraphic manner, down to naturally occurring deposits, in order to establish the aims of the project. The following categories of features will be examined as follows.
6.1.4 A 100% sample should be taken of all stake-holes.
6.1.5 An initial 50% sample should be taken of all post-holes; but, where these form part of a building, these will then be 100% excavated.
6.1.6 An initial 50% sample of all pits with a diameter of up to 1.5m. If deemed appropriate, these will be 100% excavated.
6.1.7 A minimum 25% sample should be taken of pits with a diameter of over 1.5m; but this should include a complete section across the pit to recover its full profile. If deemed appropriate, these will be 100% excavated.
6.1.8 A minimum 20% sample should be taken of all enclosure ditches, but, if deemed appropriate, these will be 100% excavated.
6.1.9 A minimum 20% sample should be taken of all field boundary ditches up to 5m in length; for features greater than this, a 10% sample will suffice.
6.1.10 All junctions/intersections and corners of linear features will be investigated, and their stratigraphic relationships determined – if necessary,
using box-sections – and all ditch terminals will be examined.
6.1.11 All funerary contexts, all buildings, and all industrial features, will be subject to 100% excavation.
6.1.12 As noted above, post-holes and the enclosing ditches around structures would first be subject to sample excavation, sectioning and recording, but should then be fully emptied.
6.1.13 Where features of archaeological interest are present, they will be hand-excavated and recorded; the recording procedures will be those generally used on archaeological excavations. Plans will be completed at a scale of 1:100; 1:50 or 1:20 (as appropriate), section drawings will be at a scale of 1:10 or 1:20 (as appropriate) and written context descriptions will be compiled. A photographic record will be made using a (minimum) 12.1 megapixel resolution camera. In addition, and where practical photogrametry will be used to record three dimensional images of the site and features.
6.1.13 Training will provide in the use of both a Leica total station and a standard dumpy level. Both types of techniques will be used to determine, where possible, the level of features or deposits relative to Ordnance Datum. The total station will also be used for site planning.
6.1.14 Any and all artefacts recovered, if deemed appropriate, will have their find spots logged using the total station. Additionally, all finds will be bagged according to their context. The recovery and processing of the finds will be undertaken in accordance with CIfA and UKIC standards and guidelines (2014c; Watkinson & Neal 1998).
6.1.15Features or deposits which are deemed likely to have palaeoenvironmental potential will be sampled. Any environmental sampling and subsequent assessment and/or analysis will be in line with the recommendations of HE policy guidance (English Heritage 2011 2nd edition).
6.2 Finds Strategy
6.2.1 All finds encountered will be recorded to professional standards; in line with CIfA and MoRPHE guidelines (CIfA 2014c; English Heritage 2008; Watkinson & Neal 1998); using numbering systems and recognised procedures which are compatible with the accessioning system employed by the recipient museum. Recording, marking and storage materials will be of archive quality and to the recipient museum’s standards. Finds of particular interest — i.e. those other than bulk finds such as animal bone, pottery or ceramic building materials — will be allocated a Recorded Find number and their description will be entered onto an appropriate pro forma sheet.
6.2.2 Artefacts such as silver or gold, as defined under the categories of ‘treasure’ in accordance with Section C of The Treasure Act 1996 Code of
Ethos Heritage CIC
Practice, will be reported to the Coroner. Cost estimates for any necessary work in respect of the analysis and or conservation of any finds from the site will, after quantification of any such material, be ascertained so that funding can be agreed.
6.3 Human Remains
6.3.1 In the event that cremations, burials and/or disarticulated/disturbed human remains are encountered, they will be treated with due respect at all times and recorded in situ using an appropriate pro forma sheet in line with guidelines outlined by CIfA/BABAO (Mitchell & Brickley 2017) and HE (APABE/HE 2017; HE 2004a). The osteoarchaeologist, Charlotte McAlister, will be on site for the duration of the excavation and will be consulted and deal with these as required.
6.3.2 Unless circumstances dictate otherwise, human remains will not be lifted and will be recorded in sitiu. Removal if required will be undertaken in accordance with the conditions set out in the License for the Removal of Human Remains, issued by the Ministry of Justice. Ethos Heritage CIC will contact the Ministry on behalf of the landowners. Arrangements will be made for storage of the remains unless the licence specifies reburial or cremation. Assessment will be carried out by a suitably qualified individual or institution.
6.4 Strategy for Environmental sampling and biological remains
6.4.1 Unless circumstances dictate this is necessary or desirable no sampling strategy is planned for the initial topsoil strip. However, subsequent recording work will require samples to be taken from any identifiable archaeological features. The environmental sampling and subsequent assessment and/or analysis will be in line with the recommendations of HE policy guidance (English Heritage 2011, 2nd edition). When the material has been quantified and any subsequent analysis, estimates for the assessment will be ascertained in order to arrange funding.
Sediment samples:
6.4.2 Should it be considered at any stage that, to assess the degree of preservation of biological remains within archaeological features that sediment sampling would be appropriate; and to assess their bio-archaeological potential, then a number of samples may be taken from such features and deposits.
6.4.3 These will consist of at least one 10 litre general biological analysis (GBA) sample, taken from targeted deposits, bagged, labelled and stored in plastic tubs. It is not intended to institute an extensive blanket sampling policy involving the routine sampling of features; rather, a range of dated and undated contexts will be targeted, combining judgment with systematic sampling where this is appropriate, in conjunction with advice from the environmental specialist (section 7).
6.4.4 Examples of types of deposits that will be targeted for sampling are deposits that are burnt or may contain material of domestic or industrial origin (e.g. fills of rubbish pits), natural deposits such as organic horizons and channel fills.
6.4.5 Some particularly rich deposits may have bulk-sediment (BS) samples taken (comprising 4 to 6 ten-litre plastic tubs of material; 40-60 litres). A selection will also be made of deposits with no visible potential. The exceptions will be deposits which are unsealed (liable to contamination), ground make-ups or other deposits which are likely to have been imported and contain residual or intrusive material, except where specific questions are posed. This is in line with the recommendations of HE policy guidance (English Heritage 2011 2nd edition).
6.4.6 All samples will initially be examined by on-site by the environmental specialist, and in light of this examination and the results of the fieldwork, suitable material will be sent for assessment (see section 7).
6.4.7 After quantification, estimates will be ascertained for the assessment (and any necessary, subsequent analysis) in order to arrange funding.
Spot/ID samples
6.4.8 A small number of spot samples, such as concentrations of small bones, seeds etc. might be taken, as may samples of wood for identification; all of which will be subject to assessment (section 6.2).
Faunal Remains
6.4.9 Faunal remains (e.g. animal/bird/fish bones and shell) including all unstratified material will be hand-collected from all excavated features. Where deposits are noted to contain dense concentrations, these will be sampled as bulk sediment (BS) samples as described in the HE policy guidance (English Heritage 2011 2nd edition)
6.4.10 Faunal remains recovered by hand-collection and from processed sediment samples will be assessed by the relevant specialist and EH CIC; and the Finds Officer in line with the recommendations of HE guidelines (English Heritage 2019).
Scientific sampling
6.4.11 Specialist dating by scientific sampling may be considered in certain circumstances, normally where contexts or features cannot be dated by ‘conventional’ means (e.g. pottery, artefacts, documentary). There are three main types which may be considered, broadly: dendrochronological sampling of preserved timbers; archaeo-magnetic assay of slowaccumulated waterlain silts and hearth/kiln structures; radiocarbon/accelerator mass spectroscopy (AMS) dating of organic material recovered either from GBA/BS samples or taken as Spot/ID samples (e.g. bone, organic sediments). Scientific sampling will be carried out in accordance with the appropriate guidelines (English Heritage 2004b; 2006b). Costs for such analyses will be ascertained.
6.5 Off-site Works Assessment
6.5.1 Upon completion of the evaluation, the artefacts, environmental samples, written and drawn information (including information/material from the trial trenches) will be retained for assessment at which time its full potential and significance can be properly assessed. The site records from all phases of work (written, drawn and photographic) will be indexed and assessed leading to the production of a detailed report; this will include the discussion of each excavated area, including the results of the trial trenches, with a unified phasing structure based on the stratigraphic sequence. The results of the specialist assessments will be integrated and the site phasing checked for consistency.
6.5.2 Any artefacts and environmental samples will be retained for assessment, which will comply with CIfA and MoRPHE guidelines (CIfA 2014c; English Heritage 2008). All artefacts will be cleaned, examined, catalogued and prepared for the archive by a Finds Assistant and the Finds Officer (section 7.4). Ethos Heritage retain the right at this stage to discard unstratified material, particularly that from modern topsoil and overburden, unless of clear intrinsic interest. Provision will be made for the radiography and the assessment of the conservation needs for all stratified metal finds by a recognised specialist, (section 7.4) in accordance with HE guidelines (English Heritage 2006c).
6.5.3 A sum will be allocated to allow for initial conservation or stabilisation of artefacts found. If applicable, a report will be produced by the conservator for the inclusion in the main report.
6.5.4 The pottery will be assessed by a sub-contracted pottery specialist (section 7.4). Sediment samples, following an initial selection process will be sent to an environmental specialist for more detailed examination, including if necessary, paraffin flotation for the recovery of insect remains. Arrangements will also be made to assess specialist samples where these have been taken. The animal bones and any human bones will be assessed by suitably qualified specialists. Artefacts requiring radiocarbon, dendrochronology or species identification will also be selected for specialist analysis.
Archive preparation and deposition (including finds retention/disposal)
6.5.5 The site archive will be prepared (including retention/disposal of finds and environmental material) in accordance with standard procedures which are in line with those recommended by HE (English Heritage 2008), the CIfA (2014c; d) and IfA/AAF (Brown 2011). The site archive, including finds and environmental material – subject to the permission of the landowners – will be labelled, conserved, packaged and stored according to the UKIC Guidelines for the preparation of excavation archives for long term
prepared
Ethos Heritage CIC
storage (Walker 1990), the Museums and Galleries Commission (MGC 1992).
6.5.6 It is intended that the site archive, incorporating the archive from the earlier phase of monitoring (trial trenches and geophysical surveys) will be deposited with a suitable repository that meets the criteria for the storage of archaeological material, in this case the East Riding of Yorkshire Museums Service (as per their Guidelines on Archaeological Archives 2012). A sitespecific accession number will be agreed with the Museum Service upon deposition. Finds remain the property of the landowner until at which time they may grant title to a museum. The landowner is normally encouraged to donate the finds from the excavations to a museum.
6.5.7 Upon completion of post-excavation work, with the landowners permission ownership of the finds can be transferred to the museum, with the written and/or digital archive also being transferred by Ethos Heritage CIC, (as per the recipient museums guidelines). All recorded finds would be deposited as a matter of course but discussions would need to take place upon completion of post-excavation work to determine which bulk finds were of sufficient importance to be deposited, (as per the recipient museums guidelines). An allowance will be made as a contribution to the recipient museum towards the long-term curation and storage of materials.
Report production
6.5.8 Upon completion of the on-site works, a timely report will be produced and submitted to the landowner, HHER and ADAS and the HSMR. The final report will include (as appropriate) the following:
a) A non-technical summary of the results of the excavation.
b) A description of the background to the project, including site code/project number, national grid reference, dates of all fieldwork and any relevant historical and archaeological background of the site.
c) A written description and analysis of the methods and results of the archaeological fieldwork (including the integration of the results of the earlier schemes of any archaeological surveys and works), in the context of the known archaeology of the area. Phasing and interpretation of the site sequence supported by scaled figures: a location plan; an overall plan of the site accurately identifying the areas excavated, indicating the location of archaeological features; section and plan drawings (where archaeological deposits are exposed) detailing the stratigraphic sequence of deposits in relation to Ordnance Datum. The report will also contain a number of photographs, when possible, including scales where significant archaeological deposits or artefacts were encountered. In addition, general photographs to show showing the prevailing condition of the site at the time of the fieldwork will be included.
d) Specialists reports on all material categories of artefacts (including any artefacts recovered from the environmental samples) human remains
and biological remains (environmental samples) will be included, as necessary. If required, a conservation report will also be included. The reports will comply with CIfA and MoRPHE guidelines (CIfA 2014c; English Heritage 2008), taking into account the long-term conservation and storage requirements and the potential for any subsequent study of the artefacts and environmental remains.
e) Recommendations for the future treatment of archaeological remains on the site, the potential impact of any future research excavations and the need for further post-excavation and publication work.
f) Details of archive location and destination (Archive Index).
g) Appendices, as appropriate, including a copy of the written scheme of investigation.
h) References of all sources used.
6.5.9 Ethos Heritage CIC will supply digital copies of the report (in PDF format) to the landowner, the HHER; HSMR. A hard copy will also be submitted to the HHER and to the landowner.
6.6 Copyright, Confidentiality and Publicity
6.6.1 Unless the landowner wishes to state otherwise, the copyright of any written, graphic or photographic records and reports rests with Ethos Heritage CIC. The results of the work will remain confidential, initially being distributed only to the landowner and HHER Office. Ethos Heritage CIC will, with permission from the landowner normally make information from this fieldwork available to interested parties when it is no longer considered confidential; this takes into account both the duty of confidence to the landowner and also the professional obligation to, within a reasonable time make the results of archaeological work available to the wider archaeological community.
6.6.2 If the results are of significance, a brief note will be submitted for publication in a local or regional archaeological journal, such as the East Riding Archaeologist. However, the findings may be of sufficient importance to merit more detailed publication; recommendations as to the need or otherwise for additional postexcavation works to for publication will be identified in the archaeological report. All aspects of publicity will be agreed at the outset of the project with the landowner
6.6.3 Ethos Heritage CIC (EH CIC) subscribe to the Archaeology Data Service’s OASIS (Online Access to Index of Archaeological Investigations) project, and all EH CIC projects are fully OASIScompliant.
6.6.2 Priortothestartofthefieldwork,anOASISonlinerecordwillbe initiated and key fields completed on Details, Location and Creators forms. All parts of the OASIS online form will be subsequently completed for submission to the Archaeology Data Service and the Humber Historic Environment Record. This will include an uploaded pdf version of the entire report.
6.7 Health & Safety, Insurance
6.7.1 Health and Safety will take priority over archaeological matters. Ethos Heritage CIC abides by the 1974 Health and Safety Act and its subsequent Date prepared © Ethos Heritage CIC
