Academic, period-based boundaries often oversimplify long-term transformations, relegating sites, features or populations to either/or categories – this theme is used to foreground the interstices of traditional ‘blocks’ of time and the research questions pertinent to eras of transition and change.
Below are set out a number of research questions and strategies that are associated with the theme Transitions.
FOR ALL BUT THE MORE RECENT PERIODS, INVESTMENT IN APPROPRIATE SCIENTIFIC DATING PROGRAMMES IS RECOMMENDED TO ESTABLISH A MORE PRECISE CHRONOLOGICAL FRAMEWORK
Undertake further work on the cremation and inhumation burials and cemeteries. Undertake further dating on the inhumation cemeteries to determine when they fall out of use. Determine to what extent the large Anglo-Saxon cemetery at paddock hill Thwing is typical.

Further work on the distribution of high status objects and sites from pas and possible “productive ” sites such as north Newbald. Detailed examination of areas around the main villages and towns e.g. Pocklington, Driffield, market Weighton and villages such as Wharram Percy.

Further study of PAS data work of Julian Richards et al. Tracing route of the great army. Sample excavation of extant rig and furrow and that discovered during excavation. Study of aerial photography to plot rig and furrow and other features.
