Kent

Gardiner, M, 1994, Old Romney: an examination of the evidence for a lost Saxo-Norman port, Archaeologia Cantiana, 114, 329-45
Fieldwalking east of Old Romney located a number of medieval sites but produced no evidence for the presence of a former town or port. Old Romney is identified as the site of a shrunken medieval village, and the Domesday town of Romenel is very probably that of New Romney.

Oxfordshire

Boyle, A, Dodd, A, Miles, D, and Mudd, A, with 14 contributors, 1995, Two Oxfordshire Anglo-Saxon cemeteries: Berinsfield and Didcot, Thames Valley Landscapes Mono, 8
Rescue excavations in 1974 at Berinsfield revealed a cemetery of 114 burials and four cremations made between mid-5th century until late 6th or early 7th century. The burials were made in family groups; much of the cemetery had been destroyed by earlier gravel quarrying. Previous use of the site by Neolithic, Bronze Age and Roman people was also recorded. At Didcot Power Station excavation revealed a small 7th-century Anglo-Saxon cemetery of 17 inhumations, two sunken-featured buildings, and pits and ditches of prehistoric and Roman date.

Yorkshire

Kenward, H K, and Hall, A R, 1995, Biological evidence from Anglo-Scandinavian deposits at 16-22 Coppergate, Archaeol of York, 14.7, 435-797, and index i-xxiii
Analysis of the abundant plant and invertebrate remains from richly organic anoxic 'waterlogged' deposits of mid-9th to mid-11th century date allowed reconstruction of a variety of aspects of human activity and living conditions in York as well as the local environment. A further result was to show that such large-scale investigations are feasible within realistic budgets using appropriate techniques.
