Medieval Archaeology has developed as a distinctive academic domain
in the last fifty years or so. It is now taught widely at
undergraduate and postgraduate level, and learned societies for
Medieval Archaeology flourish across Europe. The subject is more
interdisciplinary than most types of archaeology, engaging
critically with fields such as History and Art History to provide
fresh and independent insights to the medieval world. It draws on
sources of evidence that are unique to Medieval Archaeology, such
as extant medieval churches. Medieval Archaeology is literally
history 'from below'; it offers unique access to people and
practices that were never documented by medieval elites. (Medieval
Archaeology also has relevance beyond academia. Indeed, much of the
commercial archaeology that now takes place in Europe seeks to
record and conserve medieval towns in advance of new developments.)
Focusing on the archaeology of medieval Europe (c. 1000-1550AD),
this new four-volume collection from Routledge enables researchers
and advanced students to make better sense of a vast-and rapidly
growing-corpus of scholarship. The gathered materials have been
carefully selected to highlight the key issues and debates in the
development and contemporary practice of Medieval Archaeology, and
each volume includes a comprehensive introduction newly written by
the editor. Medieval Archaeology is an essential work of reference.
It is destined to be valued by specialists-as well as those working
in allied areas such as Medieval Studies, History, and Art
History-as a vital one-stop research tool.
