  • Medieval Rural Edward Martin
    Medieval Rural Edward Martin National overview The medieval period forms an important bridge between the study of the remote past, where archaeological data dominates, and the more recent past, where the written record dominates. There are, however, very distinct archaeological and historical streams of medieval research and it is still rare to find syntheses that span both streams with confidence and ability. The medieval period is also the period where the archaeological approach to buildings strongly meets the architectural approach, with again a tendency for the two streams to run in parallel rather than in combination. In 2012 the Medieval Settlement Research Group co-ordinated the publication of Medieval Rural Settlement. Britain and Ireland, AD 800-1600 (Christie and Stamper 2012), which is the most comprehensive and up-to-date statement of knowledge of the rural side of this period’s archaeology. This follows a review of research undertaken nationally for the period 1996– 2006 (Gardiner 2006) and a research and management framework for medieval rural settlement and landscape (MRSG 2007), which is currently under revision. A similar review process was carried out by the Society of Medieval Archaeology around the same time (Gilchrist and Reynolds 2009). It is also possible to point to important recent research in a number of specific areas: • European background: major studies that aid the consideration of the English evidence in the light of the wider European background have been provided by Ayers (2016), Bates and Liddiard (2013), Carver and Klapste (2012), Hoffman (2015), Klapste (2016), Simms and Clarke (2015), and Wilkin et al. (2015).
