At one level 'it is a guide book to the artefacts, the buildings and the landscapes that have shaped our civilisation of the past one hundred years'. At another it 'shows how the archaeological record raises questions about some of the major issues of twentieth century British history, the production of munitions in two world wars, the booms in house building of the interwar period and of the years between 1953 and 1973, the nature of coal mining communities and the take up of scientific and technological innovations'
