How did the rise of consumer society impact the domestic lives of
ordinary workers? Funded by English Heritage, this study offers the
first book-length archaeology of a 17th through 20th century
household site in Great Britain. Adopting a multi-disciplinary
approach, the volume situates the results of traditional
archaeological excavations within a broader spectrum of archival
sources, family photographs and personal memories of former site
residents to consider the dramatic influences of industrialization
and subsequent de-industrialisation on the material world of a
rural community in the North-West of England. Organised as a series
of thematic chapters, the book emphasizes the social nature of
household archaeology, drawing the reader from excavated artifacts
into domestic spaces, historic events, community identities, and
family memories. It will be of interest to a wide range of scholars
and students, in addition to those interested in local history,
archaeology, and family genealogies. -- .
