The 24 chapters of this celebratory volume present an overview of the changes in the field of medieval European archaeology, the history of the Society for Medieval Archaeology (based in the UK), and the state of research for specific subject and technical areas and for specific regions, including Italy, Spain, Scandinavia, Britain and Ireland. Chapters are included on landscape, settlement, diet, skeletal remains of people and animals, and social approaches to archaeology. The volume is heavily illustrated in b&w with photos and drawings of sites and finds, and includes a section of color plates. Each essay concludes with an extensive and up-to-date bibliography.
