This volume kick-starts debate on the future of archaeological research on Roman Britain. Focusing on new approaches to socio-economic, cultural, power and material dynamics, it addresses pressing issues facing the field. Since the deconstruction of 'Romanisation', a lack of consensus has seen the fragmentation of approaches, theories, methodologies and archaeological specialisms. Contributors propose innovative ways forward that collectively embrace the themes of communities, connectivity, and complexity. 'Communities' concerns both professional communities in field archaeology, museums, heritage, and universities and emphasises approaches that address the diverse patchwork of ancient communities that inhabited Britannia. 'Connectivity' challenges the perceived parochialism of Romano-British studies, advocating the connection of research communities and the integration of Romano-British data with those from the rest of the Roman world. 'Complexity' underlines the generation of specialised knowledge and increasingly complex datasets, and the challenges of producing new, methodologically and theoretically innovative, historical narratives for specialist and public audiences.

Reviews for Communities, Connectivity and Complexity in Roman Britain: New archaeological agendas

'This book engages creatively with the challenges set by the editors, giving content that's more reflective, better contextualised and with a longer shelf life than the research agenda documents which come and go. Anyone who works on Roman Britain across the different communities highlighted by the editors (museums, contractors and universities) should read it.' Dr John Pearce, King's College London 'This collection of papers addresses a significant range of issues which apply to many areas of current work in the archaeology of Roman Britain. [T]his will be required reading for the next generation of archaeologists and academics.' Dr Natasha Harlow, University of Nottingham
