\"\"<\/a>Two Reading archaeologists have edited a new book compiling dozens of influential research papers on European medieval archaeology.<\/p>\n

Medieval Archaeology<\/em><\/a>, edited by Professor Roberta Gilchrist (Research Dean for Heritage & Creativity) and Dr Gemma Watson from the Department of Archaeology<\/a>, is a new publication in Routledge\u2019s Critical Concepts in Archaeology<\/em> series.<\/p>\n

The four-volume, 1,930-page publication reprints 77 influential papers carefully selected to highlight the key issues and debates in the development and contemporary practice of later medieval archaeology in Europe (c. 1000\u20131550 AD).<\/p>\n

The four volumes are designed thematically: \u2018Defining Medieval Archaeology\u2019, \u2018the Medieval Landscape\u2019, \u2018Medieval Life\u2019 and \u2018Medieval Social Archaeology\u2019.<\/p>\n

The publication includes papers by Reading archaeologists Roberta Gilchrist, Grenville Astill, Mary Lewis, Gundula Mueldner and Aleks Pluskowski.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The set is aimed at an international audience and is intended as a one-stop research tool to complement degrees in Medieval Studies and provide a background in medieval archaeology and material culture.<\/p>\n
