Soft cover. Zustand: New. 80 pages : illustrations ; 21 x 25 cm. This book showcases the key archaeological discoveries made by University of Leicester Archaeological Services (ULAS) over the last 25 years in Leicestershire and Rutland. While the discovery of King Richard III under a car park in Leicester was an event attracting national interest, many of their less well-known projects are of equal, if not greater archaeological significance. The book moves chronologically, featuring large colour photos, and reconstruction illustrations throughout, exploring rarely seen Palaeolithic hunting grounds; Neolithic monuments and art; Bronze Age bogs and bodies; the only Iron Age bark shield from Europe; Roman buildings, mosaics and burials; an Anglo-Saxon village; the most complete Saxo-Norman timber structure in Britain; medieval houses and a brewery; all the way through to Victorian waterways and 1940s bomb shelters. With a bibliography providing links to further, more detailed, reading, this book is a must buy for those with an interest in learning more of the archaeological secrets from the soil !
