Under the Mediterranean
Honor Frost has written a travel book with this difference: her journeys have extended below the surface of the sea. Her accounts of these regions can be compared with the writings of early travellers who, unhampered by overspecialization, recorded a variety of observations on completely unknown places. In setting down her direct experience she has thrown new light on the much discussed submect of underwater archaeology. This book contains 22 colour and 28 monochrome photographs by well known divers, also 52 plans and drawings by the author illustrating her arguments. It is addressed to travell.

Roman Lincoln
This complete coverage of one of the most important towns of Roman Britain is long overdue. Lincoln's City Archaeologist describes in detail the different stages of the Roman occupation that took over the Late Iron Age settlement of the Corieltauvi. The initial occupation by the invading army between AD 50-80 was followed by the foundation of the Colony, with its administrative apparatus and the full public works of forum, baths, and more that developed between 90 and 150. Over the next 150 years, the city expanded enormously and developed links with the hinterland. Later on still, there was new building in the 4th century when the late Roman city became a Christian center. Eventually however, after 4 centuries of Roman occupation, there is evidence of decline and abandonment.
The Archaeological Imagination
Archaeology is a way of acting and thinking—about what is left of the past, about the temporality of what remains, about material and temporal processes to which people and their goods are subject, about the processes of order and entropy, of making, consuming and discarding at the heart of human experience. These elements, and the practices that archaeologists follow to uncover them, is the essence of the archaeological imagination. In this extended essay, renowned archaeological theorist Michael Shanks offers his colleagues and students a window on this imaginative world of past and present and the creative role archaeology can play in uncovering it, analyzing it, and interpreting it.
