Summary: | "The West Midlands is a region of geographical, topographical and geological contrasts, forming disparate landscapes that are reflected in the nature and diversity of its rich archaeology. This ranges from evidence of its prehistory to the important industrial heritage of its major conurbations. This volume represents an attempt by the region's archaeologists to draw these varying archaeological landscapes together to produce a research framework. ... The volume is arranged chronologically, each chapter addressing the important themes identified within each period."--P. [4] of cover. "The west midlands region ... embraces the counties of Herefordshire, Staffordshire, Shropshire, Warwickshire, Worcestershire, and the former West Midlands County."--P. xiv.
