Thomas Turner and co.'s 'Suffolk Works' The History and Archaeology of a Sheffield Steel and Cutlery Works - Appendices

This collection comprises the appendices for the publication Thomas Turner and co.'s 'Suffolk Works' The History and Archaeology of a Sheffield Steel and Cutlery Works.

This project was an excavation undertaken by Archaeological Research and Consultancy at the University of Sheffield (ARCUS) of a purpose built nineteenth century steel and cutlery works, the "Suffolk Works". At the time (2001-2002) this was a unique opportunity to investigate a type of industrial site that has rarely survived with so little sub-surface disturbance, supported by an unusual wealth of documentary and photographic evidence. Its investigation contributed towards the aims of a 2001 survey by English Heritage of Sheffield's built industrial environment, which highlighted the importance of the study of standing building remains in the furtherance of understanding the operation and development of the metals trade in the area. The project was funded by Midland Mainline.

It is hoped that the publication and appendices will demonstrate the importance of integrating historical documentation, excavated structures and post-excavation artefactual research in informing understanding of manufacturing processes and associated products.

本数据集收录了托马斯·特纳（Thomas Turner）及其团队所著《萨福克工厂：谢菲尔德钢铁与餐具制造厂的历史与考古》（Suffolk Works: The History and Archaeology of a Sheffield Steel and Cutlery Works）一书的附录部分。
本项目为谢菲尔德大学考古研究与咨询中心（Archaeological Research and Consultancy at the University of Sheffield，ARCUS）针对19世纪专为生产建造的萨福克工厂（Suffolk Works）——一家谢菲尔德钢铁与餐具制造厂——开展的考古发掘工作。在2001至2002年项目实施期间，此次发掘为研究一类极少留存且地下扰动程度极低的工业遗址提供了独特契机，同时得到了极为丰富的文献与影像资料的支撑。本次发掘契合了英格兰遗产（English Heritage）2001年开展的谢菲尔德建成工业环境调查的目标，该调查强调了研究现存建筑遗存的重要性，以助力深化对该地区金属贸易运作与发展历程的认知。本项目由米德兰干线铁路公司（Midland Mainline）资助。
本出版物及其附录旨在展现整合历史文献、发掘建筑遗存与发掘后人工制品研究，对于深化人们对制造业流程及其关联产品的认知所具有的重要价值。
