Abstract: The aim of the session is to discuss the changes in building materials and construction practices in urban surroundings with the main focus on the medieval and post-medieval towns of Europe. The adoption and use of new materials was a significant process which included a variety of issues discussed in urban archaeology and history, like the availability and supply of raw-materials, cultural contacts, trade, economical growth, social and professional diversity, social ambition, material culture as well as urban life-style. Although the process has been studied in urban settings, it also had an impact on the surrounding countryside and connections between town and countryside, which deserves more attention. We are inviting researchers working on this topic to discuss the factors behind this process, its chronology and adoption, and variety of consequences in different areas. The papers can focus either on large-scale perspectives in time or certain aspects related to the process detectable in archaeological and historical source material. Furthermore, we welcome speakers addressing the theories and methods of analyzing this change from different perspectives.
