Industrial Archaeology in Wales was the theme of the third Welsh Archaeological Conference held in December 1986 under the auspices of Cadw and the Council for British Archaeology at the National Museum of Wales in Cardiff. It has taken over four years to publish the papers presented then: but the delay has not been wholly disadvantageous. Collections of contributions to conferences are often unsatisfactory, even as records of the 'state of the art' at the time of their delivery: but here Dr Stephen Briggs has filled out what would have been a partial picture by including additional contributions so as to present a wider and deeper view than could have been offered on that one day. The articles naturally vary in scope and treatment, but they are all significant in their different ways.
Welsh industrial archaeology is the study of men and women at work, and their equipment and way of life (outside agriculture and seafaring, already provided for), throughout the whole of the discoverable history of Wales.
