Description:"Between the eleventh and fifteenth centuries, the social and cultural worlds of medieval Europe and the Eastern Mediterranean were transformed by the religious impetus of the crusades. Today we bear witness to these transformations in the material and environmental record revealed by new archaeological excavations and reappraisals of museum collections. This volume highlights new archaeological knowledge being developed by scholars working in the fields of history, archaeology, numismatics and architecture, to demonstrate its potential to change and augment our understanding of the crusades. The sixteen chapters in this volume deploy a contemporary scientific approach to archaeology of the crusades to give an up to date account into the diverse range of research in this area. They explore five key themes: the implications of scientific methods, new excavations and surveys, architectural analyses, sigillography and the application of social interpretations. Together these papers provide a new way of approaching the study of the crusades, and demonstrate the value of taking a holistic view that utilises the full diverse range of evidence available to us"--We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
