The beginnings of industrialization had an enormous impact on
social conditions, buildings and material culture. This text uses
the techniques of mainstream archaeological excavation, analysis
and interpretation to present an enlightening picture of industrial
society. Technology and heritage have, until recently, been the
focal points of study in industrialization. The text sets out a
coherent methodology for the discipline which expands on and
extends beyond the purely functional analysis of industrial
landscapes, structures and artefacts to a broader consideration of
their cultural meaning and value. The authors examine, for example,
the social context of industrialization, including the effect of
new means of production on working patterns, diet and health. The
text provides a guide for undergraduates and postgraduates in
archaeology and heritage management, and should be a useful
handbook for those working in planning departments and contract
archaeologists.
