Abstract:
Discussion document considers England's historic towns and cities – some of the largest and most complicated monuments in the country. A general model of urban areas is firstly presented, in which the general character, classification, and management of archaeology in towns is discussed. The principles of evaluating the importance of urban areas are examined in detail, in terms of specific characterisation, discrimination, and management criteria. Various classes of historic urban area are described fully in Volume 2 (see 94/812). There are appendices covering: 'Background research projects and consultations undertaken for MPP work on urban areas' (77-9); a 'List of context types, features, components and single monument classes commonly found in urban areas' (81-98); 'Identified forms of urban area (Roman to post-medieval)' (99); 'Gloucester – a case study in urban form' (100-108) and 'Tetbury – a case study in urban form' (109-12), both by Carolyn Heighway; 'Guidelines for urban assessment programmes of large urban areas' (113-20); 'Guidelines for urban assessment programmes of small and medium-sizes urban areas' (121-6); a 'Provisional list of urban areas in England' (127-48); a 'Specimen urban assessment of a selected area of Cirencester' by Tim Darvill (149-75); and a 'Specimen urban assessment of Tetbury, Gloucestershire' by (179-200).
