Producers, Traders and Consumers in Urban Societies in Southern Britain and Europe : Post-Excavation and Museum Studies Presented to Professor Mark Brisbane

Producers, Traders and Consumers in Urban Societies in Southern Britain and Europe celebrates Professor Mark Brisbane’s contribution to archaeological studies of the Roman, Saxon, Medieval and later historic periods. The chapters from his colleagues, collaborators and students reflect Mark’s research interests in the development of urbanisation and trade patterns in Britain and Europe, while also acknowledging his work in museums and in the field of museology.Drawing upon new evidence and using innovative archaeological methodologies and ideas, the contributors help us to appreciate the half century of advances that have been made in historic towns such as Southampton, Winchester, Bath, Antwerp, Novgorod and Kyiv. The book is divided into two sections; the first provides up-to-date reviews of Hamwic (Saxon Southampton) while subsequent chapters incorporate a range of post-excavation studies in Britain and Europe and also includes developments in the Museum and Heritage sectors.Contributors include Richard Hodges, David Hinton, Catherine Hills, Sam Lucy, Clive Orton, Pam Crabtree, Ben Jervis and David Gaimster.
