Monastic Archaeology : Papers on the Study of Medieval Monasteries

The study of monasteries has come a long way since late the late 19th century.

The emphasis has shifted away from reconstructing the layouts of monastic buildings to a better understanding of the wider monastic environment.

The papers in this volume, partly based on a conference held in Oxford in 1994, are written by some foremost scholars and reflect the diversity of research now being carried out.
