Britons and Romans: Advancing an Archaeological Agenda

Enjoins those with an interest in this subject to think broadly and to engage actively in shaping the future priorities of research into Roman Britain.The volume brings together leading specialists in the field, who provide up-to-date syntheses of significant new knowledge and suggest what we still need to know on themes as diverse as: the Iron Age/Roman and Roman/Medieval transitions; Romanisation; material culture and identity; rural society; urbanism; zooarchaeology; and soldiers and civilians. Within these themes, the contributors seek to break down the relative insularity of Romano-British studies, to open it up to new external perspectives, and to promote the value of its outstandingly rich archaeological evidence to archaeologists working in other field and on other territories. The book will be of value to field-workers, researchers, artefact and environmental specialists, curators, heritage managers, the voluntary sector, and anyone with an active interest in advancing our understanding of Britain's Roman past.
