Re: paper is done, more or lessDear Colleagues,

I am seeking examples of publications, preferably book-length, which attempt to explore (in depth and over time) particular places and/or communities in terms of at least some of the following things: geography, historicity, name, public memory, location of cultural meaning, and contested terrain (with regard to housing/urban/planning policy, historical or contemporary narratives, folklore, ethnic history, etc.).  I would be grateful for any ideas you might have, either off-list or on. I hope to find books which take a multidisciplinary approach, athough single-discipline books would also be helpful. I am seeking books which are not specifically "archaeological" in nature, but those are fine too.
 
Perhaps these examples will serve as a jumping off point for suggestions: One possible example I can think of is Barbara Bender's exploration of Stonehenge as a contested landscape with multiple meanings to contemporary stakeholders (Stonehenge: Making Space) -- it's not exactly what I am looking for but in some ways it comes close.  Another possibility applying to American historical contexts is Paul Shackel's Myth, Memory, and the American Landscape -- although that too is slightly different than what I am seeking in a couple of respects. I'm  sure there are other, perhaps more obvious, examples which I simply can't think of at present, so please send those if you think of them! 
 
Ideally, I hope to find examples which explore particular spaces/landscapes/communities over the long term -- that is, decades. But publications which cover shorter time frames will be helpful too. 

Obviously I am searching myself, and will continue to do so (I'm not asking the list to do my "homework"!)...but I hope listmembers won't mind if I pick your brains just a bit! If anyone is interested, I can post the results of this query to the list.
 
Gratefully,
 
Carol
