Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Villages have been abandoned throughout history, and in every part of the British Isles.Some of them are former towns; others were only ever small hamlets. Many still await discovery. This book explains how villages have become deserted - often the result of disease and shrinking populations - and describes how the archaeologist recovers and interprets the evidence and shows how everyone can become involved in discovering and recording sites.Some good examples of sites worth visiting are included.
