Abstract

A Riverine Site Near York: A Possible Viking Camp? is a comprehensive volume of finds and results from the site ‘A Riverine Site Near York’ (ARSNY). Several researchers have contributed to this publication, although Gareth Williams – as editor, sole author of two chapters and large parts of chapter 2 – is the main force behind the publication. The assemblage at ARSNY is similar to that at Torksey, where the Viking Great Army spent the winter of AD 872–873. It is therefore likely that ARSNY was the location of an undocumented Viking camp. Judging from the coins and weights, Williams date the main activity at ARNSY to AD 874–875 and/or with a continued activity by a smaller group after AD 875. The size of ARSNY, as well as Torksey, are larger than the D-shaped enclosure of the Viking camp at Repton. Adding to the assumption that the enclosure at Reption is only part of the Viking camp. ARSNY first came to notice in late 2003 when metal detectorists, with the landowners and tenants approval, unearthed a group of Anglo-Saxon and Viking Age coins, hacksilver, balance fragment, weights and remnants of iron, including three pieces from the hilt of a sword. An archaeological examination was initiated, in order to examine and contextualize the hoard’s find-spot. Although initially planned as using non-invasive techniques, in the form of geophysical surveys, the project was subsequently expanded with further geoarchaeological surveys and trial trenching. The present research publication is largely a report on the finds at ARSNY, as well as results from the excavations and the geoarchaeological surveys. Expanded with additional chapters on metals and exchange in Viking-Age Yorkshire. The short first chapter is authored by James Graham-Campbell and concerns the late Richard Hall’s impressive archaeological career and his role with the ARSNY project. Chapter 2 is the main section, constituting more than two thirds of the book. Hall and Williams are the main authors, along with Barry Ager and Nicola Rogers, with contributions from 14 others.

约克附近的河岸遗址：可能是维京人的营地？

约克附近的河岸遗址：可能是维京人的营地？是“约克附近的河流遗址”（ARSNY）遗址的发现和结果的综合卷。几位研究人员为该出版物做出了贡献，尽管Gareth Williams是该出版物的主要幕后推手，他是两章和第二章大部分内容的编辑和唯一作者。ARSNY的集合与托克西的集合相似，维京大军在那里度过了公元872–873年的冬天。因此，ARSNY很可能是一个非法维京人营地的所在地。从硬币和重量来看，Williams将ARNSY的主要活动日期定为公元874-875年，和/或在公元875年后由一个较小的群体继续活动。ARSNY和Torksey的大小比维京人在雷普顿营地的D形围栏还要大。再加上Reption的围栏只是维京人营地的一部分的假设。ARSNY第一次注意到这一点是在2003年底，当时金属探测器在土地所有者和租户的批准下，发现了一组盎格鲁撒克逊和维京时代的硬币、钢银、天平碎片、砝码和铁的残留物，其中包括三块剑柄碎片。开始了一项考古检查，以检查和了解该窖藏的发现地点。尽管最初计划使用地球物理调查形式的非侵入性技术，但该项目随后通过进一步的地质考古调查和试挖沟进行了扩展。目前的研究出版物主要是关于ARSNY发现的报告，以及挖掘和地质考古调查的结果。增加了维京时代约克郡的金属和交换章节。简短的第一章由詹姆斯·格雷厄姆·坎贝尔撰写，讲述了已故理查德·霍尔令人印象深刻的考古生涯以及他在ARSNY项目中的角色。第二章是正文部分，占全书的三分之二以上。霍尔和威廉姆斯是主要作者，巴里·阿格和尼古拉·罗杰斯也是主要作者，其他14人也有贡献。这篇详细的综述涵盖了ARSNY项目的各个方面，几乎构成了书中之书。有一些重复和

期刊介绍： Norwegian Archaeological Review published since 1968, aims to be an interface between archaeological research in the Nordic countries and global archaeological trends, a meeting ground for current discussion of theoretical and methodical problems on an international scientific level. The main focus is on the European area, but discussions based upon results from other parts of the world are also welcomed. The comments of specialists, along with the author"s reply, are given as an addendum to selected articles. The Journal is also receptive to uninvited opinions and comments on a wider scope of archaeological themes, e.g. articles in Norwegian Archaeological Review or other journals, monographies, conferences.
