Cities in the World: 1500-2000: v. 3: 1500-2000

Papers presented at the Cities in the World conference held at Southampton University and organised through the Society for Post-Medieval Archaeology challenged the commonly held perception that cities are about the present and future, not about the past. All cities have an innate sense of the past, and this volume, encompassing as it does cities in the world, explores this sense of history. Archaeological approaches to understanding cities will contribute towards recognising the changes in urbanism throughout the last 500 years.
