The Towns of Roman Britain

This volume presents an assessment of the contribution that developer-funded archaeology has made to knowledge of the major towns of Roman Britain. It contains papers on the legislative and planning framework; cases studies (London and York); regional reviews (towns of the South-East, South-West and the Midlands and North); and thematic national reviews of funerary and burial evidence, faunal remains and plant evidence. The volume concludes with a review by Fulford of the overall contribution of development-led work to our understanding of Romano-British urbanism.
