Abstract:
Based on the archaeological evidence from the first major excavations to be carried out in Birmingham city centre, the book provides new evidence of Birmingham's origins and its growth as a market town and industrial centre in the medieval period. It also offers a new perspective on the transformation of Birmingham into `the first manufacturing town in the world' in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. A large part of the book is devoted to the excavation of St. Martin's Churchyard, which uncovered 857 burials, in simple graves and elaborate tombs, of the people who made the Industrial Revolution. The burials are explored in detail, together with analysis of the health of the population based on scientific study of the skeletons.
