Detailed analysis of the structural sequence offers a new regional perspective on pre-Conquest \u003ci\u003eearthfast\u003c\/i\u003e timber architecture and its subsequent (12th-century) replacement by masonry traditions. Culminating in a richly preserved 14th-century farmhouse, including a very complete assemblage of structural and domestic objects, the structural archaeology provides an unusually refined picture of the internal organisation of later medieval domestic space within a rural farming setting. Detailed analytical attention is given to the abundant artefactual and environmental datasets recovered from the excavations (including prolific assemblages of medieval pottery and palaeonvironmental data) with a nuanced appraisal of their interpretative implications. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAnyone with an interest in the dynamics and regional complexity of medieval rural communities will find this a stimulating and enlightening read. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45583013019886,"sku":"9780367860295","price":227.2,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/bookland.com.au\/products\/eckweek-peasedown-st-john-somerset-hardback","provider":"Book Land AU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
