{"product_id":"medieval-towns-paul-schofield-9781845530389","title":"Medieval Towns: The Archaeology of British Towns in their European Setting","description":"\u003cp\u003eArchaeologists have shown that towns can claim to be more representative of the nature of society of which they formed part than any other type of site. In towns we are most likely to find archaeological evidence of both long-distance and local trade, of exploitation of natural resources, of specialization and of technological evidence in manufacturing, of social differentiation, of the means of political control, and of the religious aspirations of the population.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eMedieval Towns\u003c\/em\u003e is the second and enlarged edition of the book \u003cem\u003eMedieval Towns\u003c\/em\u003e which was published in 1994 by Continuum. It surveys recent work on the archaeological study of medieval towns in Britain. Its emphasis is on the discoveries by archaeological teams, nearly always on sites to be developed or already under construction. From the vast haul of information now at our disposal, after thirty years of data gathering, we can begin to ask questions of many kinds. What went on in medieval towns? How did the rich and poor live, what nourished them, what did they die of? What was the weather like, the quality of life, the restrictions or special pleasures of living in towns?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Paul Schofield, Alan Vince\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1845530381\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781845530389\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Equinox Publishing (UK)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/06\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 352\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.84lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.58h x 6.74w x 0.76d","brand":"Paul Schofield","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44130642395391,"sku":"9781845530389","price":45.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_512fd787-69d3-4fef-b871-fe09b87c30e6.jpg?v=1687470502","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/medieval-towns-paul-schofield-9781845530389","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
