   • Malton (via student projects, ?FAS contract)
   • Graveyards (via HCM)
   • Farmhouses (via JCG)
   • Area west of Rudston (via current MA research)
3. Define a strategy to locate bioarchaeologically-rich deposits across the Wolds landscape (with the help of Harry Kenward and Allan Hall)

Immediate resourcing

1. Obtain maps, up-to-date APs (plus Stoertz's rumoured gazetteer of sites by type), ?LIDAR data;
2. Integrate annual field school.
