Brings together over thirty of the leading scholars in Post
Medieval archaeology and examines how this relatively new
discipline has developed and where it is going. The impetus for
this volume lies in the expansion of interest in Post Medieval
archaeology in university, commercial, and voluntary sectors. The
study of Post Medieval archaeology is a relatively new discipline
but, within archaeology as a whole, it represents one of the
fastest growing areas of study. Archaeologists seek to avoid the
fragmentation of a still small discipline into subfields such as
pre-1750 post-medieval archaeology, post-1750 industrial
archaeology, or the incorporation of theory as somehow outside of
the purview of the work of the older organisations. This important
and timely volume brings together articles that consider the
commonalties between approaches as well as the unique contributions
made by members of each organisation towards the study of the
material heritage of the post-1550 period. The chapters in the
volume derive from a well-attended three day conference held at the
University of Leicester in April 2008 and sponsored by the Society
for Post-medieval Archaeology, the Association for Industrial
Archaeology, and the Irish Post-Medieval Archaeology Group. The aim
of the discussion-focused conference was to foster enhanced
understanding and cooperation between the organisations and their
approaches; with in-depth consideration of the future of the
broader field of historical archaeology. The volume will bring the
debatefrom the conference to a wider academic, professional, and
vocational audience and, it is anticipated, will act as a benchmark
by which future development will be judged.
