The 1968 to 1970 excavations on the Vicus at Malton,
North Yorkshire
by P. Wenham & B. Heywood (1997)

A section of the vicus of the fort at Malton was excavated between 1968 and 1970 when several trenches were dug in the area of the site of a new factory.

This report described the structures discovered during these excavations and the dating evidence as revealed by the associated finds. A discussion follows, linking the information gained from the excavations with that from the earlier excavations on the site, including the 1948-52 excavations in the vicus.

The finds assemblage is large and varied, ranging in date from the 1st to the 4th century. The finds are catalogued and discussed in some detail, and include a report on an important group of coarse ware pottery.
