The vibrant urban centre and focus of population which York became in the Anglo-Scandinavian period provided a fertile ground for the development of a diverse range of crafts. Much of the evidence which underpins this assertion has come from in and around the streets of Coppergate, Piccadilly and High Ousegate, in the area south of the site of the Roman fortress. This focus of Viking Age York has been identified on the basis of discoveries made by antiquaries, collectors and archaeologists for over a century, but has been underlined by excavations undertaken at Coppergate and adjacent streets since 1976.
