The aim of this lavishly illustrated book is to provide an in-depth study of the<br />
many medieval peasant houses still standing in Midland villages, and of their<br />
historical context. In particular, the combination of tree-ring and radiocarbon<br />
dating, detailed architectural study and documentary research illuminates both<br />
their nature and their status. The results are brought together to provide a new<br />
and detailed view of the medieval peasant house, resolving the contradiction<br />
between the archaeological and architectural evidence, and illustrating how<br />
its social organisation developed in the period before we have extensive<br />
documentary evidence for the use of space within the house.<br />

Excavations at<br />
Plantation Place, City of<br />
London, 1997–2003<br />
Ken Pitt (Author) et al.<br />
Excavations at Plantation Place provided evidence for<br />
medieval and early post-medieval occupation of an<br />
entire block in the eastern part of the City of London<br />
near the Thames waterfront. Contemporary ground<br />
surfaces and buildings did not survive, but associated<br />
pits and wells have been related by documentary and<br />
cartographic research to identified tenements in this<br />
thriving area of shops, warehouses and merchants’<br />
residences. Important assemblages from pits and<br />
wells include vessels used in refining gold, crucibles<br />
and moulds from bronze casting, and the largest<br />
assemblage of late medieval Islamic-style glass yet<br />
found in Britain, alongside Middle Eastern ceramics.<br />
