ARCHAEOLOGY OF BRITAIN

the long version

"The Archaeology of Britain takes the reader on a journey around this ancient land, detailing the most important and fascinating of Britain's historic remains. From excavations of everyday life found in forgotten highways and Roman villas to areas of great spiritual significance, such as stone circles and medieval churches, this book uncovers the amazing heritage that can be found beneath our feet." "Divided into five eras: Prehistory, Roman, Early Medieval, Late Medieval and Post Medieval, The Archaeology of Britain is a showcase of the best archaeological sites from 3000 BC to the last century that Britain has to offer. Tom Quinn's enthusiasm for and knowledge of the subject is immediately apparent from the informative text, which is complemented by Andrew Midgley's photographs. This combination makes The Archaeology of Britain the essential companion for anyone with an interest in the archaeology of the British Isles."--BOOK JACKET.
