The post-medieval fieldwork entries for 2017 follow the pattern introduced into the fieldwork section of PostMedieval Archaeology in 2008. The searchable database of annual excavation summaries set up by the Society for Post-Medieval Archaeology (SPMA) in cooperation with the Society for Medieval Archaeology (SMA) is hosted by the Archaeology Data Service as a ‘Special Collections’ feature of ArchSearch and is also accessible via the SPMA website . We receive more contributions than the limited space of the printed Journal allows us to publish; those entries not included in this section will be accessible in digital format through this resource. SPMA uses the same geographical conventions as those used by SMA. For England, sites will be listed under the post-1974 counties; for Scotland and Wales, the New Local Authority or Unitary Authority Areas will be used; for the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland, the historic counties will be used. Maps illustrating this system can be found in Medieval Archaeology 44 (2000), 236–8 and 45 (2001), 234. Although an effort has been made to create a fair representation of the variety of fieldwork undertaken across Britain and Ireland, this compilation only covers those submissions received; any lacunae may represent a lack of submissions rather than an absence of fieldwork carried out in the area. The index to the reports is organized around a set of themes and categories to lend shape to the many sites and finds reported each year. The full index is accessible as a drop-down menu in the database. The printed index in the Journal covers all submitted entries, including those represented in a digital-format only on the database; those entries which appear in the index in bold are also represented here in the printed section. The compiler would like to thank all contributors to the 2017 roundup, especially those who submitted reports on behalf of their respective organizations: N. Powers (AAL), H. Brooks (CAT), C. Cessford (CAU), L. Tidbury (CITiZAN), E. Matthews, S. Thompson (Headland Midlands and West), M. Jecock (HE), N. Neil (LDHG), S. Leaver (MOLA), K. Hamilton (OAE), R. Shaffrey (OAS), T. Vitali (PCA Ltd), S. Preston (TVAS), C. Harward (Urban Archaeology), and M. Railton (Wardell Armstrong). Summaries of work carried out in Scotland are extracted from the annual journal Discovery and Excavation in Scotland, courtesy of Dr Paula Milburn of Historic Environment Scotland. Many thanks to Gary Young for preparing the final versions of the illustrations for publication.

2017年在英国，爱尔兰和海峡群岛进行的中世纪后实地考察

2017年的中世纪后野外作业条目遵循2008年中世纪后考古野外工作部分引入的模式。可搜索的年度挖掘摘要数据库由中世纪后考古学会（SPMA）与中世纪考古学会合作建立（SMA）由Archeology Data Service作为ArchSearch的“特殊收藏”功能托管 也可以通过SPMA网站访问 。我们收到的捐款超过了印刷版《期刊》允许我们发表的有限空间；通过本资源可以数字格式访问本节中未包括的那些条目。SPMA使用与SMA相同的地理约定。对于英格兰，地点将列在1974年后的县以下；对于苏格兰和威尔士，将使用新的地方当局或统一当局地区；对于爱尔兰共和国和北爱尔兰，将使用历史悠久的县。可以在中世纪考古学44（2000），236-8和45（2001），234中找到说明该系统的地图。尽管已做出努力来公平地代表整个英国和爱尔兰进行的各种田野调查，但本汇编仅涵盖收到的那些内容；任何缺陷都可能表示缺乏意见，而不是缺乏对该地区进行的实地调查。报告的索引围绕一组主题和类别进行组织，以使许多站点和每年发现的报告更加有形。完整索引可通过数据库中的下拉菜单访问。《日刊》上的印刷索引涵盖了所有提交的条目，包括那些仅以数字格式在数据库中表示的条目；那些以粗体显示在索引中的条目也在此处印刷部分中表示。编制者要感谢2017年综述的所有贡献者，特别是代表各自组织（N.Powers（AAL），H.Brooks（CAT），C.Cessford（CAU），L.Tidbury（ CITiZAN），E。Matthews，S。Thompson（岬角中部和西部），M。Jecock（HE），北 Neil（LDHG），S.Leaver（MOLA），K.Hamilton（OAE），R.Shaffrey（OAS），T.Vitali（PCA Ltd），S.Preston（TVAS），C.Harward（城市考古）和莱顿（Wardell Armstrong）。在苏格兰进行的工作摘要摘自苏格兰历史环境杂志的保拉·米尔本（Paula Milburn）博士提供的年度杂志《苏格兰的发现与发掘》。非常感谢Gary Young准备了插图的最终版本以供出版。
