Abstract:
AbstractEuropean countries interest for archaeological heritage, as part of the cultural landscape, was firstly expressed at the London Convention (1969), whose content was later revised by La Valetta Convention (1992). Romania joined this Convention in 2000, thus assuming the mission to protect and preserve the archaeological heritage, facing with massive economic development and urban expansion. Although we speak of a consecrated historical center, in Timisoara’s urban landscape preventive archaeology has become a reality only from 2004, when first researches were conducted. During the last few years, local infrastructure development has determined an extension of archaeological investigations over the historical area of the city, with major influences especially over public transportation (most of the times hampered, sometimes deviated, even blocked in the specific area, during archaeological research). Our approach focuses on multiple facets and implications of preventive archaeology over Timisoara’s urban landscape, from immediate, obvious issues (such as population’s satisfaction regarding archaeological investigations, their consequences (over access in the area, safety or transportation)), to long-term results (over local tourism, urban development or locals’ education for protecting and promoting cultural heritage).

Abstract:
Based on several years of near-nightly excursions into London’s disused, non-public, forgotten, subterranean and infrastructural spaces, this article considers the significance of discovering years - or even decades - old surviving traces of graffiti (‘ghosts’, in graffiti parlance) in situ. The article also draws on extensive ethnographic research into London’s graffiti subculture, as well as in-depth semi-structured interviews with several generations of graffiti writers. The article proceeds in four parts. The first part reflects on three sources of methodological inspiration: unauthorised urban exploration and documentation; more-or-less formal archaeological studies of graffiti; and ‘ghost ethnography’, an emergent methodological orientation which places an emphasis on absence and the interpretation of material and atmospheric traces. The second part of the article considers recent theoretical work associated with the ‘spectral turn’. Here, ghosts and haunting provide useful conceptual metaphors for thinking about lingering material and atmospheric traces of the past. The third part of the article offers some methodological caveats and reflections. The fourth and final part of the article seeks to connect theory and method, and asks what significance can be drawn from unauthorised encounters with graffiti ‘ghosts’.

Abstract:
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to present an approach to applied archaeology and interpretive methods for Iranian traditional archaeology. Applied archaeology is based on a holistic approach providing rational approaches in the field of cultural heritage preservation and sustainable use of the potential of cultural heritage with the participation of the people. This paper aims to create social good standing archaeology knowledge with respect to Iranian archaeology experts. Design/methodology/approach In this survey study, data collection was accomplished using a questionnaire. The sample consists of professors, PhD students, post-graduate fellows, and educated experts of the Iranian Tourism, Handicrafts and Cultural Heritage Organization. Findings Applied archaeology as a provider of situations, positions and employment opportunities for archaeologists has not been considered seriously in the Iranian archaeological education. Traditional education emphasizes the cultural history and field techniques; hence it does not consist of critical areas of heritage codes, protection and budget management, business skill and the most important, interpretation and consequently sustainable development. Iranian archaeologists agree with the findings of the applied archaeology. Evaluation of their opinions reveals that they agree with all applied archaeology items of the questionnaire. Originality/value As an approach, applied archaeology can be proactive and improve the status of archaeology in the Iranian field of cultural heritage, and representations of outputs such as site-museum and sustainable use of them which ultimately fulfil social, economic and even political-identity purposes, then applied archaeology can be a constructive element in archaeology and prevent vandalism and looting in cultural heritage.

Abstract:
The contribution by Axel Christophersen aims to present new perspectives for the archaeology of medieval and post-medieval towns. In enlisting ‘social-practice theory’, the author would like to view the town as a dynamic, ever-changing network of social and cultural practices which is registered in the archaeological data. This perspective on the town lies, therefore, somewhere between structure-centred and agent-centred approaches. As such, Axel Christophersen's contribution can be seen as more comprehensive. I assess the piece also as a programmatic contribution to the development of theory in the apparently long-term conflict between ‘processual and postprocessual archaeology’. It should be said in advance that he was successful in this. At the same time, however, his contribution makes it clear that it is not easy to transfer or apply current cultural-studies concepts to historical periods and the materiality of archaeological data.

Abstract:
<p>Cultural heritage management (CHM) has long been regarded as an off-shoot of mainstream archaeology, largely because CHM began as a result of archaeological concerns about the destruction of sites by amateur fossicking and urban development pressures (Bowdler 1983, Cleere 1989).</p><p>The archaeological paradigm which underpinned CHM has recently been challenged, largely as a result of Aboriginal involvement in decision making (Byrne 1991, Sullivan 1993, Ellis 1994, Ross 1996). Focus has moved away from the 'site'; landscapes are becoming the unit of management and the roles of anthropology and indigenous ascription of meaning to place are growing rapidly as the new basis for CHM. These shifts and their implications for heritage management authorities and academic researchers are examined.</p>

Abstract:This article focuses on the idea that archaeology aids the revaluation of cultural properties within historical centers. At the same time, it holds that the application of the Convention Concerning the Protection of the World Cultural and Natural Heritage of 1972 should imply the development of best management practices at inscribed sites. The handling of archaeological heritage in three Latin American cities is presented and discussed in this study, through the theoretical assumptions of preventive archaeology for the management of archaeological properties. It examines the different social contexts of World Heritage in these areas and concludes that the traditional vision of World Heritage impedes other historical readings of the past in these places. This conclusion is reached through a proactive vision defending the use of these UNESCO World Heritage Sites to improve management models with high public participation, the use of which should also be considered in the European community. There is, finally, a reminder of the desired objective: the improvement of archaeological management and, consequently, of urban historical discourses, whose outcomes enrich the lives of citizens.

Full text
Abstract:
This dissertation theorizes the genre of the urban database documentary, a mode of media art practice that uses structural systems to uncover new perspectives on the lived experience of place. While particularly prominent in recent decades, I argue that the genre of the urban database documentary arises at the turn of the 20th century in response to the rise of the metropolis and the widespread adoption of new media technologies such as photography, cinema, and radio. This was a time when the modern city engendered significant disorientation in its inhabitants, dramatically expanding horizontally and vertically. The rampant pace of technological development at this time also spawned feelings of dehumanization and the loss of connection to embodied experience. The urban database documentary emerges as a symptomatic response to the period's new cultural conditions, meeting a collective need to create order from vast quantities of information and re-frame perception of daily experience. The design of structural systems became a creative method for simultaneously addressing these vast new quantities of information, while attending to the particularities of individual experience. For media artists, building a database into the aesthetic design of a work itself offers an avenue for creatively documenting the radical multiplicity of urbanized environments, preserving attention to the sensory experience of details while aspiring to a legible whole. Crucially, I argue that the design of these systems is a vital form of authorial agency. By reading these artists' work in relation to contemporary practice, I aim to make transparent the underlying, non-technical ambitions that fuel this distinctive mode of media art practice.

The city of Cruz Alta, in the northwest of the Rio Grande do Sul state, recognizes itself as a historical city. Founded in 1821 in a context of borders dispute between Portugal and Spain, the official history emphasizes some elements of its past, like the initial occupation of the area as the route of cattle trade, in a period where the indigenous populations were repelled of the region and the local history. Its history is the history of the white, rural elites; rarely that of the poor, slaves, or the everyday life. These histories are assumed as the real past, heritage of the city inhabitants. The cultural heritage of the city reproduces this logic, once it actuates basically on architectural goods which make reference to the same elites. Historical narratives and heritage discourses are the ways in which a city represents its own past, and then the city s past looks simplified, without conflict and without contemplate the diversity of settings and social actors that compose its history. An archaeology of the city can handle with the enormous archaeological potential of downtown area, and bring this other actors to the debate. A historiographical survey and the use of photos and historical maps allowed to draw the process of occupation of the city, and with this data areas with archaeological potential are identified, highlighting the interpretive possibilities of its study. The central area of the city is divided in three archaeological layers, identified by the period of occupation and, into these three layers, some specific places are identified by its potentialities. As a result, is proposed an archaeological map that allows the location of areas of archeological interest in the actual city
A cidade de Cruz Alta, no noroeste do estado do Rio Grande do Sul, reconhece a si mesma como uma cidade histórica. Fundada em 1821 em um contexto de disputas de fronteiras entre Portugal e Espanha, a história oficial do município dá ênfase em alguns elementos de seu passado, como a ocupação inicial da área enquanto uma rota de comércio de gado, período no qual as populações indígenas são rechaçadas da região e da história local. Sua história é em geral a das elites brancas e rurais, e raramente a dos pobres, dos escravos, ou do cotidiano. Estas histórias são assumidas como o verdadeiro passado, herança de seus habitantes. O patrimônio cultural do município reproduz esta lógica, uma vez que atua basicamente em bens arquitetônicos que se referem em geral às mesmas elites. Narrativas históricas e discursos patrimoniais são os meios pelos quais uma cidade representa seu passado, e assim o passado da cidade aparece simplificado, sem conflitos e sem contemplar a diversidade de cenários e atores sociais que compõem a história da cidade. Uma arqueologia da cidade pode dar conta do enorme potencial arqueológico da área central da cidade, e trazer aos debates estes outros atores. O levantamento historiográfico e o uso de fotos e plantas históricas permitiram traçar o processo de ocupação da cidade, e assim identificar áreas de potencial arqueológico, destacando as possibilidades interpretativas de seu estudo. A área central da cidade foi dividida em três camadas arqueológicas identificadas pelo período ao qual se referem, e nestas três camadas, alguns lugares específicos foram identificados por suas potencialidades. Como resultado, é proposta uma carta arqueológica que permite localizar na cidade atual as áreas de interesse arqueológico

Abstract:
Esta pesquisa tem como objetivo elaborar um estudo sobre o patrimônio cultural e o turismo na cidade de Pelotas no sul do Brasil enfocando a importância do patrimônio para o desenvolvimento do turismo cultural. A cidade de Pelotas se desenvolveu economicamente com o estabelecimento de charqueadas escravista no final do século XVIII. E com um grande acumulo de riqueza a cidade passou por um período de desenvolvimento modernista e tecnológico diretamente influenciado pela cultura Europeia, em meados de século XIX e inicio do século XX, destacando-se do resto do país no processo de modernização urbana. Esse período consolidou uma paisagem cultural histórica materializada no seu conjunto arquitetônico artístico de exemplar importância para o país, possibilitando o desenvolvimento do turismo cultural. Em um primeiro momento é apresentado uma discussão de patrimônio, turismo e desenvolvimento. E no segundo momento é apresentado o estudo do turismo e patrimônio cultural da cidade identificando de forma sistemática o patrimônio cultural inventariado e outros elementos do patrimônio cultural, como o patrimônio artístico, arqueológico bem como o patrimônio cultural imaterial. Apresenta a contextualização do período de apogeu econômico, industrial e moderno e o seu impacto na vida urbana justificando a importância do estudo. O presente trabalho demonstrou que a cidade de Pelotas apresenta um rico patrimônio cultural constituindo um importante conjunto patrimonial de importância nacional.
The present work aims to elaborate a study about the cultural heritage and tourism of the city of Pelotas, in the south of Brazil with a focus on the importance of this heritage in order to boost cultural tourism. Pelotas city has developed economically with the establishment of “charqueadas” which were basically country houses that produced salted, dried meat through slave labour in the end of the eighteenth century. It lead to an accumulation of wealth in the city, which brought modern and technological development influenced directly by european culture. This development occured mainly during the second half of the nineteenth and beginning of the twentieth centuries, and made the city stood out in the country as na exemple of modern urbanization. This period consolidated a historical cultural landscape that can be seen in the artistic and architectural ensambles materialized in the city’s beautiful buildings and public spaces. These facts enabled the development o the city’s cultural turism. In a first moment, the present research intends to present a discussion about heritage, tourism and development. After that, it focuses on presentig how the cultural tourism Works in the city, identifying, in a systematic way, the city’s enrolled cultural heritage and its other elements or branches, like artistic and the intangible cultural heritage. This work also presents a contextualization of the city’s industrial, economic and modern apogee and its impacts on peoples’ lifestyle, facts that justify the need for such study. It is possible to see through this research that the city of Pelotas has a very rich cultural heritage which constitutes a set of nacional importance.

Abstract:
It has recently been recognised that concepts of health contain multiple dimensions. One area that has received little attention in archaeology is that of health and well-being, so this research seeks to contribute to this area of study. It does so by investigating healthiness in the late Iron Age and Romano-British periods. The literature review explores current thinking around this topic, and confirms that aspects of good health mattered to people in the past. The research explores small finds that are traditionally associated with personal use (mirrors, combs, glass unguent containers, bronze cosmetic grinders and other additional toilet items) from the main urban-type settlements of south-east Britain. The investigation included collecting data concerning the sites, contexts, dates, materials, types, forms, colours and decoration ofthese objects, and any associated archaeological remains found with these items. Given the social nature ofthis work, a contextual approach was central to the design. The research takes an interpretive interdisciplinary position that draws on theoretical models based on the self and other, the body and face, the senses and perception, as well as concepts from material cultural studies, such as agency. Patterns seen in the data-set coupled with theoretical frameworks, and understandings of late Iron Age and Roman life, are brought together, and offer a means of interpreting how and why some of these small finds contributed to practices ofmaintaining good health. These proposals include healthiness in personhood and domestic and public life, in religion and the control of healthiness.

Abstract:
This thesis outlines a technique for rapid documentation of historic sites in volatile cultural landscapes. Using Holt Cemetery as an exemplary case study, a workflow was developed incorporating RTK terrain survey, UAS aerial imagery, photogrammetry, GIS, and smartphone data collection in order to create a multifaceted database of the material and spatial conditions, as well as the patterns of use, that exist at the cemetery. The purpose of this research is to create a framework for improving the speed of data creation and increasing the accessibility of information regarding threatened cultural resources. It is intended that these processes can be scaled and adapted for use at any site, and that the products generated can be utilized by researchers, resource management professionals, and preservationists. In utilizing expedited methods, this thesis specifically advocates for documentation of sites that exist in coastal environments and are facing imminent destruction due to environmental degradation.

Abstract:
This chapter focuses on Memphis and its associated necropoleis. Memphis served as the seat of the satrap, based in the Palace of Apries, which continued its military and administrative functions. The cult of the Apis bull was maintained, and perhaps even expanded. Likewise, the practice of building shaft tombs among the Old Kingdom royal pyramids at Saqqara, Abusir and Giza also continued; some of these tombs are among the most impressive of the Late Period. Thus Memphis remained an important place, both in the physical landscape of Egypt, and also in the cultural memory of the Egyptians themselves. At the same time it was also a great cosmopolis, and Achaemenid rule only added to its diversity. The sealings and bilingual tags recovered from the Palace of Apries attest to a social environment in which multiple traditions of material culture were valued and utilized side by side. Even the names recorded in Demotic and Aramic papyri found at Saqqara feature combinations of Egyptian and foreign names within single families, pointing to a social climate of interaction and diversity rather than strict divisions between Persians and Egyptians.

Abstract:
Historical, contemporary, and future-oriented urban identities are presently being challenged worldwide at an unprecedented pace and scale by the continuous influx of people into cities and the accompanying effects of deindustrialization, conflict, and social differentiation. Archaeology is unique in its capacity to contribute a materialist perspective that views recent and present-day struggles of cities as part of longer term cycles of urban life that include processes of decay, revitalization, and reclamation. The aim of this volume is to position contemporary archaeology in general, and studies of cities in particular, as central to the discipline of archaeology and as an inspiration for further interdisciplinary, materially engaged urban studies. In doing so the contributing authors collectively challenge prevailing approaches to cities. Whereas scholars have routinely conceptualized contemporary cities within the bounds of particular analytical categories, including cities as gendered, deindustrialized, global, or urban ecological units of study (see Low 1996 for an overview), the cities discussed in this volume do not fit neatly into these individual analytical units, nor do they exist outside the influence of capitalist policies or institutions (Harvey 2012: xvii). They are instead recognized by the authors as operating within increasingly globalized systems, but also, following Jane Jacobs’ concept of open cities (2011), as places that are full of alternative possibilities. Rather than adhering to particular classifications of cities, the volume’s contributions are intentionally broad and attentive to the dynamics of the local and everyday in specific urban places—the politics, people, interventions, and materialities of specific urban places and the ways in which these dynamics operate across conceptual categories, temporal boundaries, and spatial terrain. Contemporary Archaeology and the City consciously employs a critical, materially engaged perspective that considers urban centres as both discrete and networked entities that are interrelated with places beyond geopolitical city limits. While many cities have characters formed from their vibrancy and centrality, their successful functioning often also relies upon the exploitation and even ruination of peripheral and rural hinterlands. The preceding chapters are original contributions inspired by the fieldwork of archaeologists who work in Europe, North America, Africa, Australia, and Western Asia. They incorporate a diversity of perspectives from across contemporary archaeology and beyond in responding to very different national, social, institutional, and cultural contexts.

Abstract:
Changes in Detroit’s motor vehicle industries affect counterparts in Tokyo, struggling financial sectors in Athens rattle the economy of Dublin, construction booms in Vancouver stimulate investments by Hong Kong speculators, uprisings by Berlin artists against ‘creative’ redevelopment projects inspire protests by graffiti artists in Mexico City, and inadequate water supplies in greater Los Angeles limit the availability of imported foodstuffs for consumers in Delhi. The contemporary city is essentially an (post-)industrial, modern, and interconnected place where capitalist accumulation, growth, and decline often operate simultaneously, are experienced locally, and resonate globally leaving material traces on urban and associated hinterland landscapes. With the majority of the world’s population now dwelling in cities, historical and future-oriented urban identities face global challenges associated with the logistics and inequalities of deindustrialization. The fast pace of change in cities, as well as the tremendous scale of urban landscapes and the complexities of personal interactions with them, poses an unrivalled challenge to archaeologists whose work begins with contemporary remains. Contemporary Archaeology and the City foregrounds the archaeological study of (post-) industrial and other urban transformations through a diverse, international collection of case studies on present-day cities. The deep historical roots of citizenship in contemporary cities directly affect how communities craft notions of belonging within urban ecologies in the present. For example, the former industrial stronghold of East Belfast has experienced decades-long post-industrial economic decline alongside longstanding sectarian tensions. However, the arrival of new immigrant populations have shifted loyalist narratives in working class neighbourhoods from an identity defined by a self-conceived progressive ethos to one that asserts exclusionary material boundaries around an increasingly inward-looking, defensive community (McAtackney, Chapter 9). Meanwhile, Detroit’s built environment and cultural heritage suffer at the hands of an ongoing, decadeslong social disaster perpetuated by a constellation of political corruption, economic mismanagement, and legacies of racial conflicts. While the media perpetuates inaccurate portrayals of Detroit and other comparable cities as landscapes of abandonment, where people and built environments are increasingly absent, the contributors to this volume adopt a more nuanced approach. They envisage post-industrial cities as variably inhabited places and emergent ecologies—hybrid metropolises that expand and contract over the course of multi-generational life cycles—places that are complicated by conceptual divisions between city and nature, industry and creativity, sustainability and profitability (Millington 2013: 279; Ryzewski 2016; see Ryzewski, Chapter 3).

Abstract:
This chapter examines how slavery was imprinted on material culture and settlement at Gorée Island. It evaluates the changing patterns of settlement, access to materials, and emerging novel tastes to gain insights into everyday life and cultural interactions on the island. By the eighteenth century, Gorée grew rapidly as an urban settlement with a heterogeneous population including free and enslaved Africans as well as different European identities. Interaction between these different identities was punctuated with intense negotiations resulting in the emergence of a truly transnational community. While these significant changes were noted in the settlement pattern and material culture recovered, the issue of slavery — critical to most oral and documentary narratives about the island — remains relatively opaque in the archaeological record. Despite this, the chapter attempts to tease out from available documentary and archaeological evidence some illumination on interaction between the different communities on the island, including indigenous slaves.

Abstract:
The ruins of modernity are inevitably the ruins of the North. Actual or imagined ruined cities (the real Detroit or a post-apocalyptic London) are always Euro-American industrial or post-industrial metropolises (Vergara 1999; Woodward 2002; Edensor 2005; Jorgensen and Keenan 2012). These ruins are receiving growing attention by researchers, who often see them as metaphors of a diverse kind—including of our cultural anxieties and fears, of colonialism, capitalism, of the end of master narratives (Hell and Schönle 2010; Dillon 2011; Stoler 2013). They are also scrutinized by cultural heritage managers and politicians who try to transform them into spaces of memory, of leisure and consumption, or both. The post-industrial ruins of the South have received much less attention in recent debates on ruination, decay, recovery, and gentrification, although there are a few significant exceptions, most notably the work of Gordillo (2009, 2014) in Argentina and also Rodríguez Torrent et al. (2011, 2012) and Vilches (et al. 2008, 2011) in Chile. This is due to several reasons: one of them is the fact that southern urbanization and industrialization are usually perceived as a recent process. They are too young to have generated ruins: after all, none of the diverse southern ‘miracles’ of which economists speak (South-east Asian, Brazilian, African, and so on) dates from before the 1960s. It is well known that when companies do outsourcing, it is the so-called emerging economies that benefit from it: new factories for the South, new ruins for the North. Another reason is that the long-term process of modernity is still very much associated with Euro-American history. The rest of the globe is seen as having a later, incomplete, or surrogate modernity, as post-colonial historians have abundantly criticized (Chakrabarty 2000). In addition, the cultural and political conditions of the North have enabled the emergence of popular engagements with ruins, such as urban exploring or video games, that have made their processes of metropolitan ruination more conspicuous at a global level (Garrett 2013; Pétursdóttir and Olsen 2014: 4).

Abstract:
At the scale of cultural landscapes, community visions were expressed broadly as the distribution of villages across space and creation of extensive residential, agricultural, and industrial systems. In this chapter, landscapes are considered as active participants in community formation and growth. Shaker spaces were designed to reflect and reinforce an ordered vision, and maintaining order was a dynamic process within which brothers and sisters continuously reworked their village landscapes. The Harmonist's gardens communicated the relationship between members and the community's leader, and connected the American movement to its German theological roots. Idealized urban plans met with the realities of local geography and resource availability as they were made real on the ground in Mormon towns and at the Llano del Rio colony.

Abstract:
Detroit’s popular music-making legacy has remained a foundation for the city’s symbolic identity throughout the twentieth century and into the present. For over a century music production in Detroit has been part of a thriving local industry and global enterprise, with different genres and styles of music measuring the city’s changing composition over the years (Holt and Wergin 2014). The sounds emerging from the city, coupled with its built environment and physical landscape, tell the stories of a creative, shapeshifting industrial and post-industrial centre defined by melodies, artists, and sounds that are distinctly Detroit—The Hucklebuck, Martha and the Vandellas, Cybortron. Attention to the assemblages of buildings, landscapes, people, and the soulful sounds associated with them reveal the underlying power of the city’s creative accomplishments to unite disparate communities, call attention to issues affecting urban well-being, and preserve memories of Detroit’s rich musical heritage. In its expansive repertoire of recording history and in its vast contemporary terrain of decay and ruination, Detroit’s musical heritage holds tremendous potential for archaeological research and cultural heritage initiatives. Through creative documentation platforms and dissemination practices contemporary archaeological approaches are particularly well suited for engaging place-based and thematic heritage discourses about Detroit and other post-industrial cities. This chapter presents the ‘Making Music in Detroit’ project, a contemporary archaeology and digital storytelling exercise focused on popular music assemblages and their placemaking power in Detroit, a city that is simultaneously defined and encumbered by the traumatic and festering post-industrial wounds of poverty, mismanagement, and ruination. In a series of twenty-four videos and web texts, ‘Making Music in Detroit’ illustrates how archaeologists might use digital storytelling to involve music-making places and their physical remains (some ruined, others intact) in communicating present-day senses of place as they relate to urban histories of creativity. These stories are part of a substantially broader and more formal multidisciplinary digital humanities effort to map Detroit’s transformations over the course of the past century, as it transitioned first from a thriving, wealthy, and innovative centre of manufacturing industries to an epicentre of post-industrial struggle, and more recently, from a bankrupt city into a stage for selective, privatized, and creative revitalization efforts (Ethnic Layers of Detroit project 2016; on creative cities, see White and Seidenberg, Chapter 1).

Abstract:
The roman amphitheatre of Catania stands in a very complex and interesting area where settlement dynamics and transformations have profoundly marked its urban landscape. Over the centuries, the urban and architectural histories together with the formation of the archaeological deposits have led to the complete obliteration of the monument and restricted knowledge of its plan and architectural development. Therefore, it constitutes an interesting context in which to experiment methods and techniques for architectural representation and the three-dimensional reconstruction of the monument.

It also considers the adoption of the theories and methods of the Conzenian School. Urban morphological research in China is carried out in different disciplines: mainly archaeology, geography, and architecture. The earliest significant work was within archaeology, but that has been widely ignored by current urban morphological researchers. As an urban archaeologist whose first degree was in architecture, Zhengzhi Zhao worked on the Studies on the reconstruction of the city plan of Ta-Tu in the Yuan Dynasty in 1957. He uncovered the original city plan of Ta-Tu (now Beijing) in the Yuan Dynasty by applying street pattern analysis. Before the Cultural Revolution, Pingfang Xu recorded and collated the research findings of Zhao, who was by then seriously ill, so that the methods he developed could be continued with the help of other scholars especially archaeologists. His methods of study are still used in studies of urban form in China today. Later, the dissemination of the Conzenian School of thought, aided by two ISUF conferences in China, promoted the development of studies of Chinese urban form. With the help of Jeremy Whitehand, researchers, including the Urban Morphology Research Group of Peking University, applied the theories and methods of the Conzenian School through field work and empirical studies. Taking the opportunity of the 110th anniversaries of the birth of both M.R.G. Conzen and Zhengzhi Zhao, this paper summarizes multidisciplinary urban morphological research in China.

Abstract:
The main recommendations of the panel report can be summarised under five key headings. Underpinning all five areas is the recognition that human narratives remain crucial for ensuring the widest access to our shared past. There is no wish to see political and economic narratives abandoned but the need is recognised for there to be an expansion to more social narratives to fully explore the potential of the diverse evidence base. The questions that can be asked are here framed in a national context but they need to be supported and improved a) by the development of regional research frameworks, and b) by an enhanced study of Scotland’s international context through time. 1. From North Britain to the Idea of Scotland: Understanding why, where and how ‘Scotland’ emerges provides a focal point of research. Investigating state formation requires work from Medieval Scotland: a future for its past ii a variety of sources, exploring the relationships between centres of consumption - royal, ecclesiastical and urban - and their hinterlands. Working from site-specific work to regional analysis, researchers can explore how what would become ‘Scotland’ came to be, and whence sprang its inspiration. 2. Lifestyles and Living Spaces: Holistic approaches to exploring medieval settlement should be promoted, combining landscape studies with artefactual, environmental, and documentary work. Understanding the role of individual sites within wider local, regional and national settlement systems should be promoted, and chronological frameworks developed to chart the changing nature of Medieval settlement. 3. Mentalities: The holistic understanding of medieval belief (particularly, but not exclusively, in its early medieval or early historic phase) needs to broaden its contextual understanding with reference to prehistoric or inherited belief systems and frames of reference. Collaborative approaches should draw on international parallels and analogues in pursuit of defining and contrasting local or regional belief systems through integrated studies of portable material culture, monumentality and landscape. 4. Empowerment: Revisiting museum collections and renewing the study of newly retrieved artefacts is vital to a broader understanding of the dynamics of writing within society. Text needs to be seen less as a metaphor and more as a technological and social innovation in material culture which will help the understanding of it as an experienced, imaginatively rich reality of life. In archaeological terms, the study of the relatively neglected cultural areas of sensory perception, memory, learning and play needs to be promoted to enrich the understanding of past social behaviours. 5. Parameters: Multi-disciplinary, collaborative, and cross-sector approaches should be encouraged in order to release the research potential of all sectors of archaeology. Creative solutions should be sought to the challenges of transmitting the importance of archaeological work and conserving the resource for current and future research.
