Ebook: The Towns of Roman Britain: The Contribution of Commercial Archaeology Since 1990

With contributions by Paul Bidwell, Stewart Bryant, Michael Fulford, Neil Holbrook, Mark Maltby, Patrick Ottaway, John Pearce, Dominic Perring, Mark Robinson and Roger M. Thomas.

This volume presents an assessment of the contribution that developer-funded archaeology has made to knowledge of the major towns of Roman Britain. It contains papers on the legislative and planning framework; cases studies (London and York); regional reviews (towns of the South-East, South-West and the Midlands and North); and thematic national reviews of funerary and burial evidence, faunal remains and plant evidence. The volume concludes with a review by Fulford of the overall contribution of development-led work to our understanding of Romano-British urbanism.
