Test pit excavation as a method for reconstructing the development of currently-occupied rural settlements:

A review of the context and value of a new approach - archaeological test pit excavation within inhabited rural settlements of likely medieval date - to advancing knowledge and understanding of the long-term development of historical rural settlements where other techniques cannot be used due to their built-up nature.
