Urban Archaeology, Municipal Government and Local Planning
Improving the relationship between archaeology and local government represents one of the next great challenges facing archaeology –specifically archaeology done in urban settings. Not only does local government have access to powerful legal tools and policy mechanisms that can offer protection for privately owned archaeological sites, but because local government exists at the grassroots level, it is also often closer to people who have deep knowledge about the community itself, about its values, and about the local meaning of the sites most in need of protection. This partnership between archaeology and local government can also provide visibility and public programing for heritage sites...
The Bull Ring Uncovered
The excavations in the centre of Birmingham uncovered evidence of habitation from prehistoric and Roman times, but the 12th to 19th centuries presented by far the most evidence, from artefacts, environmental samples and structural remains. The medieval industrial past was of particular interest, with tanning and the manufacture of hemp and linen all playing a large role in the city's prosperity. Metal working reached its peak in the seventeenth century, with brass founding becoming important from the eighteenth century onwards. Most of the artefactual evidence attests to Birmingham's industrial past, indeed the evidence for domestic life is comparatively scant, with an anomalous burial of two people at Park Street presenting something of a mystery. This volume presents insights into the early industrial past of this important city and is an invaluable record covering eight hundred years of occupation.

Research and Archaeology
Seven period-based chapters set out a research agenda by looking at the evidence available across the region, identifying gaps in knowledge and suggesting research topics. A thematic chapter puts forward research issues which cut across period divisions and which could be usefully addressed within the region. The concluding chapter sets out a research strategy which considers priorities for research and outlines an integrated approach within the region, exploring collaborative arrangements and partnerships.
Courts and Regions in Medieval Europe
