Industrial Archaeology (1972) presents an in-depth investigation of the nature, methods and materials of the archaeology of industry in the UK, from pre-Roman times to the late twentieth century. It studies topics such as coal and lead mining, textiles, wagon-ways and railways, canals, iron, steel and chemicals, glass-making, agriculture, brewing and many other trades, illustrated by a large number of examples (with photographs of many now-demolished sites) from many time periods and regions. It also deals with the role of excavation and field work, the problems of preservation and restoration, and place of various kinds of museum.
