Cities in the world, 1500-2000: papers given at the conference of the Society for Post-Medieval Archaeology, April 2002 - 3

Papers presented at the 'Cities in the World' conference held at Southampton University and organised through the Society for Post-Medieval Archaeology challenged the commonly held perception that cities are about the present and the future, not about the past.

All cities have an innate sense of the past, and this volume, encompassing as it does cities of the world, explores this sense of history.
