The Journal

Joint Editors Paul Courtney and Jacqui Pearce

Assistant Editors Paul Belford and Hugh Willmott

Post-Medieval Archaeology is a biannual journal devoted to the study of the material evidence of European society wherever it is found in the world. This fascinating period saw the transition from medieval to industrial society, the foundation of the modern European world on new Renaissance and Reformation values, the shift from collective to individual mentalities, increasing social segregation, new notions of privacy, family, gender and space, global expansion, and revolutions in the modes and scales of production. The journal wishes to foster a multidisciplinary approach to the past, exploiting material, textual, iconographic and scientific evidence, and to engage in the latest theoretical debates.

Post-Medieval Archaeology is an international journal, covering a range of subjects, which illustrates the increasingly broad scope of post-medieval archaeology today, including pottery, glass, metalwork, fortifications, vernacular architecture, landscape studies and industrial archaeology. The European Reference Index for the Humanities (ERIH), published by the European Science Foundation in 2007, places  Post-Medieval  Archaeology  in its category 'A' :  high-ranking international publications with a very strong reputation among researchers of the field in different countries, regularly cited all over the world.
