The site yielded a nationally significant group of medieval coffins, all but one of which were made of imported Baltic oak â the largest assemblage of such timber from the whole of Britain. There were also significant collections of well preserved textiles, leather, wood and dress-accessories. In addition, some of the burials were accompanied by carefully placed wooden rods, an under-reported burial tradition which can be found on either side of the North Sea. Many of the monastic buildings were reused after the Dissolution in 1539; partly in consequence, a large assemblage of masonry and ceramic building materials was recovered from this site. There were also significant collections of floor tiles (both plain and decorated), and window-glass, whilst other finds include rare finds of musical instrument components. Cumulatively, this volume sheds significant light upon a whole range of aspects of life and death within this northern religious house for a period of over two centuries, as well as offering yet more valuable evidence about Hullâs extensive medieval trading-links, as one of Englandâs leading ports.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book is for researchers and archaeologists interested in the archaeology of medieval Britain as well as the role of Christianity in the Middle Ages.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53515614585175,"sku":"9781041075790","price":137.75,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/excavations-at-the-austin-friary-hull-yorkshire-1994-and-1999-part-2-9781041075790","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
