Social Approaches to an Industrial Past [PDF ebook] 
The Archaeology and Anthropology of Mining

Social Approaches to an Industrial Past addresses the social issues of mining communities in research spanning a period of 4, 500 years. The volume considers themes which are relatively new to archaeology: * the social context of production * gender * power and labour exploitation * imperialism and colonialism * production and technology.
