Archaeology in British Towns: From the Emperor Claudius to the Black Death

In this authoritative volume, Patrick Ottaway draws on his extensive experience of urban archaeology to show how our conception of the early history of British towns has been radically changed over the last twenty five years. This study highlights some of the most important discoveries and research themes of recent years, showing how long term urban research projects have revealed new information about towns and the lives of their inhabitants. This volume offers a series of engaging and evocative case studies.
