West Yorkshire Mesolithic Project: Further Information

This page contains links to a variety of documents that explain in detail the project design and results. The documents are in a variety of formats including: Text (TXT), Rich Text (RTF), Adobe® Portable Document Format (PDF), Encapsulated Post Script (EPS) and AutoCad® (DXF).
All the documents, except PDF format, have been compressed to reduce the download size. You may need additional software to access this material, such as Winzip, Acrobat Reader and a DXF viewer such as Volo View. A good search engine will locate these or similar utilities.

These documents contain details of how the project was designed and how that design was updated annually in the light of what was discovered each field season. The text-only versions exclude some diagrams and pictures.
