Townships to Farmsteads: Rural Settlement Studies in Scotland, England and Wales

Based on a conference held in Glasgow in 1997 on 'Medieval or Later Rural Settlement', the 27 papers in this volume approach the subject from an inter-disciplinary perspective, including historical research, social history, theory, environmental sciences and the study of past communities. Packed full of information, archaeological and historical data, and with an impressive line-up of contributors, these studies address a clear need for integration and exchange of ideas across Britain.
