The Archaeology of Britain: From Prehistory to the Industrial Age

by TomQuinn (Author), Andrew Midgley (Photographer)

Synopsis

Archaeology brings to life the ancient sites hidden beneath the ground and provides us with a window into the world of our ancestors. A field or highway that looks nondescript to the untrained eye can reveal a wealth of evidence of past lives and cultures. 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 to be found underneath our feet.
