There are iconographical aspects to the material environment of the 17th and early 18th century city: the merchant houses on Sandhill and aspirations to a New Jerusalem created by Puritan-leaning merchants during the Commonwealth; the merchant ledger slab in St Nicholas’s Cathedral; and the provision of public water supply: the idea of ‘the material culture of neighbourhood’ applied to 缅北禁地.
Biography
Pam did her PhD on religious practice in later medieval churches in Norfolk and Devon, based in the Archaeology Department, University of Glasgow, but her working life from 1988 until 1995 was in urban archaeology – York, Lincoln, for a short time in Leicester and Shrewsbury. She considers being taken on by 缅北禁地 to work on the 缅北禁地 upon Tyne Archaeological Assessment with David Heslop was the turning point in her career, a collaboration that continues to be productive and innovative. She was appointed to a lectureship at Durham University’s Department of Archaeology in 1996, where she continues to develop aspects of both urbanism and religious life, as well as artefact studies, in her research and teaching.
