{"product_id":"9780817384401","title":"Archaeology of Southern Urban Landscapes","description":"The rapid growth and development of urban areas in the South have resulted in an increase in the number of urban archaeology projects required by federal and state agencies. These projects provide opportunities not only to investigate marginal areas between the town and countryside but also to recover information long buried beneath the earliest urban structures. Such projects have also created a need for a one-volume update on archaeology as it is practiced in the urban areas of the southeastern United States.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eArchaeology of Southern Urban Landscapes\u003c\/i\u003e will assist practitioners and scholars in the burgeoning fields of urban and landscape archaeology by treating the South as a distinctive social, geographic, and material entity and by focusing on the urban South rather than the stereotypical South of rural plantations. The case studies in this volume span the entire southeastern United States, from Annapolis to New Orleans and from colonial times to the 19th century. The authors address questions involving the function of cities, interregional diversity, the evolution of the urban landscape, and the impact of the urban landscape on southern culture. By identifying the relationship between southern culture and the South's urban landscapes, this book will help us understand the built landscape of the past and predict future growth in the region.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e The volume includes:\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Introduction: Urban Archaeology in the South, Amy L.
