In the preceding 25 years to this book s publication in 1985
there was an extensive and unprecedented burst of archaeological
activity in evidence from below-ground deposits, above-ground
structures, and artefacts. During the boom of the late 1960s and
1970s, which led to go much central town redevelopment, it was
buried remains which yielded the most dramatic information. In the
recession of the 1980s it was realised that upstanding remains had
a lot to offer as well and they were being subject to ever more
sophisticated study techniques. This book examines those recent
developments in archaeology and assesses their bearing on the study
of medieval English and Welsh history. Taking a series of important
themes such as government, religion and the countryside, the book
offers a chronological approach from the coming of the Vikings, 850
AD, to the Reformation in 1530. This approach focuses on the impact
of man on the urban and rural landscape. An important text for
students of ancient history."
