About the book >.>.> As a consequence there was a growing appreciation of the density of buried remains surviving beneath modern town and city centres an appreciation also of the fragility and complexity of such remains. There was also a growing realisation that this ‘urban archaeological resource’ was not so to speak a dead issue. The streets properties and buildings of modern town centres are often a direct reflection of patterns and structures established centuries ago and it is these factors that help mould the individual identity of an urban place what give it its special character what impart for those who live work and visit there the feeling of a ‘sense of place’. The safeguarding of such remains whether buried footings or standing buildings could not be left to chance: active management was called for an approach that demanded above all clear and comprehensive information.
