The West Heslerton Project Team

The Core Team

The Core Team work at Yedingham, North Yorkshire, in a purpose-built centre, which includes a temporary finds store and the paper record. Most of the site data, however, is held on computer and accessed by a network. The specification of the computer equipment is constantly changing but at present is based around a Windows 95 operating system and Windows 97 Office software. The data is accessed and manipulated using the in-house developed Geographic Data Management System G-Sys. Team members can be contacted by e-mail or by letter to:
