The Landscape Archaeology of the Vale of Ffestiniog

Landscape studies of the archaeology of industrialisation have now become an accepted part of the discipline, and the 'Manchester methodology' as applied by the University of Manchester Archaeological Unit to the Tameside region has made possible a comprehensive narrative of regional industrialisation that has identified the poorer members of the community as the motors of technical, economic and social change. The following paper outlines the ways in which this methodology has been applied to other areas, particularly the vale of Ffestiniog, in north-west Wales, and suggests ways in which the methodology might be developed
