The Augustinian Priory of St Mary, Norton Priory, Runcorn, Cheshire

The dataset comprises detailed records (in the form of databases) of stratigraphic data generated by the excavations, and the substantial parts of the material archive, including the medieval and later vessel glass, the medieval and later pottery, the medieval and later metalwork (copper alloy, iron, and lead objects), the bone and ivory objects, the wooden and leather objects of medieval and later date. Other elements of the material archive, for instance the medieval floor tiles and the medieval stonework, are described in full in the 2008 publication. The dataset also includes a detailed catalogue of the skeletal evidence, complementing the more discursive account given in the publication.
