Theoretically informed and drawn from primary and secondary sources in a range of disciplines, the author considers agriculture and the rural environment, towns, and buildings such as working-class housing and institutions of reform. From bleach baths to window glass, rubbish pits to tea wares, the material culture of the period reflects a particular set of values and aspirations. Tarlow examines the philosophical and historical background to the notion of improvement and demonstrates how this concept is a useful lens through which to examine the material culture of later historical Britain. 410 0$aCambridge studies in archaeology. 606 $aHistoric buildings$xConservation and restoration$zGreat Britain 606 $aHistoric sites$xConservation and restoration$zGreat Britain 606 $aMaterial culture$zGreat Britain$xHistory$y18th century 606 $aMaterial culture$zGreat Britain$xHistory$y19th century 606 $aCultural property$xProtection$zGreat Britain 607 $aGreat Britain$xHistorical geography 607 $aGreat Britain$xSocial conditions$y18th century 607 $aGreat Britain$xSocial conditions$y19th century 615 0$aHistoric buildings$xConservation and restoration 615 0$aHistoric sites$xConservation and restoration 615 0$aMaterial culture$xHistory 615 0$aMaterial culture$xHistory 615 0$aCultural property$xProtection 676 $a363.6/9094109033 700 $aTarlow$b Sarah$f1967-$0865960 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910782517603321 996 $aThe archaeology of improvement in Britain, 1750-1850$93716815 997 $aUNINA
