The medieval marketplace is a familiar setting in popular and
academic accounts of the Middle Ages, but we actually know very
little about the people involved in the transactions that took
place there, how their lives were influenced by those transactions,
or about the complex networks of individuals whose actions allowed
raw materials to be extracted, hewn into objects, stored and
ultimately shipped for market. Twenty diverse case studies combine
leading edge techniques and novel theoretical approaches to
illuminate the identities and lives of these much overlooked
ordinary people, painting of a number of detailed portraits to
explore the worlds of actors involved in the lives of everyday
products - objects of bone, leather, stone, ceramics, and base
metal - and their production and use in medieval northern Europe.
In so doing, this book seeks to draw attention away from the
emergent trend to return to systems and global models, and restore
to centre stage what should be the archaeologist's most important
concern: the people of the past.
