There has been a lot of this work done in Britain though not all
published. The most famous case studies are those by Derek Keene for
Winchester (the bible) and Cheapside in London. Unfortunately after a
large Italian meal and a lot of wine I can't find the reference to the
latter though there is a summary in vol 7 of the Lubecker Schriften. The
most important Continental study from the point of view of integrating
archaeology is that by Hemmy Clevis for Nijmegen. There are also a
number of studies done from a purely historical point of view eg Rolf
Hammel's work in Lubeck is close to home for you. Essental reading is
the paper by Hammel and Alfred Falk on the possibilities of integrating
the archeology and history. Hope this of help.
