"Post Medieval" can be used in many contexts, not just archaeology. The archaeological usage is already discussed at Post-medieval archaeology. In Western history, the Renaissance comes to mind as "post-medieval". As a WP:DICDEF of an adjective, I don't see this as worth holding on to. BDD (talk) 20:19, 13 November 2015 (UTC)

• Redirect to Post-medieval archaeology. The use of the term is primarily archaeological. 60 years ago, no one paid attention to archaeology after Prehistoric and Roman (yes, probably an exaggeration), so the Society for Medieval Archaeology was formed. The question of what to do about later periods led to the foundation of the Society for Post-Medieval Archaeology. Terminology on periods has followed. Historians normally talk about the "early modern period". I accordingly regard BDD as wrong. Alternatively, the article should be transwikified to the dictionary.
