Managing the Historic Rural Landscape
First published in 1999. The Issues in Heritage Management series is a joint venture between Routledge and English Heritage. It provides accessible, thought-provoking books on issues central to heritage management. Each book within the series is designed to provide a topical introduction to a key issue in heritage management for students in higher education and for heritage professionals. Rapid changes are taking place in countryside management today, making their impact on the historic landscape. In an accessible format, this volume examines the questions and conflicts that arise in Managing the Historic Rural Landscape. It is essential reading for students and professionals concerned with countryside management, in particular those involved with cultural landscapes and students of planning.

Marketing Heritage
Increasingly, archaeological sites worldwide are being commodified for a growing tourism trade. At best, expansion of programs can aid in the protection and historic preservation of sites and strengthen community identities. However, unchecked commercial development may undermine the economic and cultural integrity of these same sites, replacing local interests with corporate ones. In this volume, original case studies from well-known sites in Cambodia, Israel, England, Mexico, and the United States addresses the complex interaction between archaeology and nationalistic, political, and commercial policies.
Mount Grace Priory: Excavations of 1957–1992
Owned by the National Trust and managed by English Heritage, Mount Grace Priory in North Yorkshire, established in 1398 and suppressed in 1539, was one of only nine successful Carthusian monasteries in England and one of the best-preserved medieval houses of that order in Europe. First excavated by Sir William St John Hope in 1896-1900 and in state guardianship since 1955 it is acknowledged as a type site for late-medieval Carthusian monasteries. The modern study of Mount Grace began in 1957 when Hope’s interpretation of the monks’ cells about the great cloister was found to be simplistic. This was followed between 1968 and 1974 by the excavation of individual monks’ cells in the west ...

Medieval Art and Architecture at Ely Cathedral
This is the second volume in the series launched by the British Archaeological Association in which are to be published the transactions of the annual conferences devoted to the study of a major medieval monument and its surrounding area. As in the case of the first volume the unavoidable delay in publishing the transactions has meant that some of the papers are not in the form that they were delivered to the conference and that not all the papers were available for publication in the present volume. The editors have therefore taken the opportunity to include some additional plates, especially plans, which may not be referred to directly in any of the papers but which, it is felt, will make the volume a more useful contribution to the study of this remarkable building. This Volume includesL Sutton in the Isle of Ely and its Architectural Context (Richard Fawcett); Medieval Timberwork at Ely (John Fletcher); The Fourteenth-Century Tile Pavements in Prior Crauden's Chapel and in the South Transept (Lawrence Keen); Ely Cathedral: the Fourteenth-Century Work (Nicola Coldstream).

Archaeology of Spiritualities
Archaeology of Spiritualties provides a fresh exploration of the interface between archaeology and religion/spirituality. Archaeological approaches to the study of religion have typically and often unconsciously, drawn on western paradigms, especially Judaeo-Christian (mono) theistic frameworks and academic rationalisations. Archaeologists have rarely reflected on how these approaches have framed and constrained their choices of methodologies, research questions, hypotheses, definitions, interpretations and analyses and have neglected an important dimension of religion: the human experience of the numinous - the power, presence or experience of the supernatural. Within the religions of many ...
