Sommario/riassunto

"This book provides an account of the archaeology of medieval monastic houses throughout Great Britain and Ireland. The application of a wide range of archaeological techniques, allied to historical investigation, has awakened interest in monasteries. Important new sources of information have transformed knowledge of monastic life. As well as discussing many of the advances made by research over the last two decades, innovative methods of archaeological investigation are described, and examples of good practice in the preservation of sites and their interpretation to visitors are provided. Suggestions for



further research, examples of outstanding monastic sites to visit, a glossary of terms, a comprehensive bibliography and an index are also included."--Bloomsbury Publishing.
