This volume brings together recent excavations at two sites in Pocklington, East Yorkshire. The main focus of the Volume will be examining Iron Age burials, which included chariots, swords, and spears and will also include earlier Prehistoric and later Roman activity. The excavations have enabled further scientific evidence for migration and mobility in the Iron Age population and secure chronologies for artefacts. New evidence from osteological analysis gives support for Warrior Graves and burial rites. The Pocklington shield has been described as one of the most significant pieces of Iron Age art.

The exceptional finds, including a dismantled chariot with horses and an upright chariot also with horses, captured the world's media and the public imagination. The excavations at Pocklington in 2017 and 2018 were featured on BBC 4's Digging for Britain series and was voted Current Archaeology Rescue Project of the Year 2018.

The Anglian elements will be included in an additional volume.

AUTHOR: Mark Stephens has worked for the last 40 years predominately in the East and North Ridings of Yorkshire as a Professional Field Archaeologist. The excavation of the two chariots at Pocklington fulfils a career ambition.
