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 the future, not about the
past. All cities have an innate sense of the past, and this volume,
encompassing as it does cities of 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. This volume contains over twenty contributions
spread across geographical contexts, taking us on a tour of cities
from Africa to Europe via North America, Australia and India. The
essays discuss the extent to which a city can be defined by its
archaeological remains and how the stories of its past inhabitants
can be illuminated through the material culture thereby discovered.
