Format:Paperback
A cracking book,loads of period pics and modern colour photos.I did like to think that I had a good knowledge of underwater archaeology and a book collection to match but there's tons of stuff new to me here. Forget the rest and buy this one.I can't recommend it enough.

OK as an introduction
2 Jan 2002
Format:Paperback
This slim book covers many elements of western underwater archaeology in a semi-chronological format, but it doesn't pull it all together cleanly. The text feels disjoint - jumping from subject to subject - with a few recurring elements to lend continuity. There are many pictures and illustrations to help explain key concepts, and the picture-to-text ratio is nice for an introductory book. Perhaps because of the breadth and depth (no pun intended) of material to be covered, the book only occasionally captures the inherent excitement of the subject.
The binding of the copy I have came apart before I finished reading it, and I don't think it would survive rough handling.
Overall, an OK value as an introductory book on underwater archaeology.
