The study of deserted villages abandoned during the last millennium
in Europe has been the primary focus of archaeological
interventions in rural settlements over recent decades. However,
most of the hamlets and villages of medieval origin remain
inhabited today and excavations in these small and medium-sized
settlements are more unusual. The Archaeology of Medieval Villages
Currently Inhabited in Europe focuses on these locations, giving
examples of sites excavated in the United Kingdom, the Netherlands,
France, Scandinavia and Spain. The case studies highlight the
diversity of problems and debates around this subject such as the
meaning of the term 'village', the chronology beyond the last
millennium with continuities, discontinuities and ruptures, the
integration of research into residential and working areas, the
role of local communities in research programmes and the need for
multidisciplinary approaches to address all these issues. Deserted
villages research along with currently-inhabited settlement
excavation has the important potential to achieve long-lasting
historical syntheses on medieval settlement networks in Europe.
These five chapters offer challenging approaches to the above
issues and proposals for future research in the field from Spain to
the North Sea.
