Does anyone have any suggestions for recent and fairly comprehensive
books on industrial archaeology? at the same time, I wonder why it is
that there is something called "industrial" archaeology whcih seems
to subsume any concern with anything relatively modern.
Or to put it another way is the preservation of Paul McCartney's
house or a WW2 site "industrial" archaeology, or is there a modern
archaeology in the same sense that you can have medieval or roman or
prehistoric archaeology. And (if you'll forgive me for going on) how
do all these relate to the various academic forays into modern
material culture?
