Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
Argues that archaeologists should make first-hand records of industry. By taking a saddlery manufacturer in Walsall as an example, this article outlines some of the benefits of documenting working practices. It emphasises that a first hand knowledge of manufacturing techniques can assist archaeological interpretation, and shows that processes rarely proceed in a `text book' manner, usually allowing for empirical adaptations. Process recording can also be used as a critical tool in the understanding of archaeological sites where the techniques employed are now extinct. The article concludes by considering two accounts of the iron trade written in the eighteenth century, which are compared with the results of process recording in the twentieth to offer new insights into industrial archaeology as the archaeology of work. | ||||||||||
