ABSTRACT This article seeks to determine whether changes in factory management during the mid-20th century can be archaeologically recognised. 1 The 20th century witnessed significant changes in management practice which are understood historically. In order to examine the archaeological record of these changes, archaeological and historical research was carried out on four factories on the Team Valley Trading Estate (TVTE) built between 1938 and 1939. It was possible to detect elements of planning for efficiency of movement and process both in the offices and the factory floor. Similarly, division of labour between workers of different status and gender were also evident. Such differences in status were not only part of practical organisation but were marked symbolically. In addition, it was possible to show that though aesthetic considerations were important in factory design during the period 1930–1970; they became less significant subsequently as factories themselves ceased to be marketing tools.

20 世纪工厂管理的考古学：Team Valley 贸易区的四个工厂

摘要 本文旨在确定 20 世纪中叶工厂管理的变化是否可以从考古学上得到确认。1 20 世纪见证了历史上可以理解的管理实践的重大变化。为了检查这些变化的考古记录，对建于 1938 年至 1939 年间的 Team Valley Trading Estate (TVTE) 的四家工厂进行了考古和历史研究。在办公室和工厂车间。同样，不同身份和性别的工人之间的分工也很明显。这种地位差异不仅是实际组织的一部分，而且具有象征意义。此外，可以证明，尽管美学考虑在 1930 年至 1970 年期间的工厂设计中很重要；随着工厂本身不再是营销工具，它们变得不那么重要了。
