Ebook: The City by the Pool: Assessing the Archaeology of the City of Lincoln

Edited by David Stocker.

There are two aspects to this publication. It is firstly a comprehensive synthesis of the information from excavations and building surveys in and around Lincoln, which endorses some established ideas but also proposes exciting new ones: the ritual nature of the area in the late Bronze and Iron Age, and its effect on the Roman occupation; a Saxon settlement and market site; the layout of medieval markets around the ecclesiastical centre; the development of settlements on the valley floor; a concentration of early Dissenting communities within the city; and, the growth of industrial Lincoln from the 1840s onwards.
