Shadows after Sunset : Imperial Materiality and the Empire's Lost Things / James Symonds."Britain was the industrial and political powerhouse of the nineteenth century--the birthplace of the Industrial Revolution and the center of the largest empire of the time. With its broad imperial reach--and even broader indirect influence--Britain had a major impact on nineteenth-century material culture worldwide. Because British manufactured goods were widespread in British colonies and beyond, a more nuanced understanding of those goods can enhance the archaeological study of the people who used them far beyond Britain's shores. However, until recently archaeologists have given relatively little attention to such goods in Britain itself, thereby missing what is often revealing and useful contextual information for historical archaeologists working in countries where British goods were consumed while also leaving significant portions of Britain's own archaeological record poorly understood. The Importance of British Material Culture to Historical Archaeologies of the Nineteenth Century helps fill these gaps, through case studies demonstrating the importance and meaning of mass-produced material culture in Britain from the birth of the Industrial Revolution (mid-1700s) to early World War II. By examining many disparate items--such as ceramics made for export, various goods related to food culture, Scottish land documents, and artifacts of death--these studies enrich both an understanding of Britain itself and the many places it influenced during the height of its international power"--Provided by publisher."Case studies of the importance and meaning of mass-produced material culture in Britain during the Industrial Revolution"--Provided by publisher.Society for Historical Archaeology series in material culture.Archaeology and historyGreat BritainHistory19th centuryMaterial cultureGreat BritainHistory19th centuryIndustrial revolutionGreat BritainConsumer goodsGreat BritainHistory19th centuryCivilization, ModernBritish influencesGreat BritainRelationsGreat BritainAntiquitiesGreat BritainSocial life and customs19th centuryGreat BritainCommerceHistory19th centuryElectronic books.Archaeology and historyHistoryMaterial cultureHistoryIndustrial revolutionConsumer goodsHistoryCivilization, ModernBritish influences.941.081Brooks Alasdair MarkMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910461027303321The importance of British material culture to historical archaeologies of the nineteenth century2134198UNINA
