Abstract

This chapter considers how archaeological and historical
methods and practices can us combined in a study of the material body. We will discuss the context for these, focusing particularly on the material turn, new materialism and phenomenological
approaches and the opportunities and challenges they offer for a study of
‘embodiment’. The introduction will also highlight the particular dividends
of uniting archaeological and historical perspectives for an understanding
of the embodied past, and specifically for the study of industrialising England
during the period 1700–1850.
