Description
The final chapter examines archaeological evidence for activity on both sides of the North Sea in the 16th century up to and including the Reformation. Changes in material culture and the transmission of ideas are explored as well as the landscape impact, both urban and rural, of the Reformation itself. The chapter concludes with an appraisal of the inter-disciplinary role of archaeological research and suggestions for further enquiry.
