考古证据是用来研究如何改变城市生活在中世纪后期的苏塞克斯，萨里和汉普郡在英格兰南部的城镇，根据正在进行的辩论存在的15世纪的城市“衰落”。这篇文章提出，我们不应该寻找衰落的证据，而应该考虑城市生活体验如何以及为什么会发生变化。城镇在商业和政治网络中的作用被强调为中世纪晚期城市经验变异的关键原因。
Archaeological evidence is used to examine how urban life changed in the later medieval towns of Sussex, Surrey, and Hampshire in southern England, in light of ongoing debates about the existence of a fifteenth-century urban ‘decline’. The article proposes that rather than seeking evidence of decline, we should consider how and why experiences of urban life vary. The role of towns in commercial and political networks is highlighted as a key cause of variability in late medieval urban experience.
