The growth and development of towns and urbanism in the pre-modern
world has been of interest to archaeologists since the nineteenth
century. Much of the early archaeological research on urban origins
focused on regions such as Mesopotamia, Egypt, and Mesoamerica.
Intensive archaeological research that has been conducted since the
1960s, much of it as a result of urban redevelopment, has shed new
light on the development of towns in Anglo-Saxon England. In this
book, Pamela Crabtree uses up-to-date archaeological data to
explore urban origins in early medieval Britain. She argues that
many Roman towns remained important places on the landscape,
despite losing most of their urban character by the fifth century.
Beginning with the decline of towns in the fourth and fifth
centuries, Crabtree then details the origins and development of
towns in Britain from the 7th century through the Norman Conquest
in the mid-eleventh century CE. She also sets the development of
early medieval urbanism in Britain within a broader, comparative
framework.
