Product Description

From the Back Cover

This is the book that all Time Team viewers have been waiting for. What was it that brought Mick Aston - the wild haired, stripy-jumpered team leader into archaeology in the first place? What aspects of the subject gave him a particular buzz? What archaeological work has he been involved in over the last 30 yeasr? How did Time Team itself come into existence?

For those who know that Mick is also a Professor of Landscape Archaeology at the University of Bristol it is perhaps no surprise that landscape archaeology remains his first love - because it provides so much information about how ordinary communities lived in the past. What is more surprising is his passion for monasteries and his attraction to the monastic regime - if only it wasn't for the celibacy and the religious belief? Environmental archaeology, experimental archaeology, the archaeology of buildings and his great project at the village of Shapwick in Somerset are just some of the other subjects brought excitingly to life in Mick's colourful and action-packed pages. Reading this book, it is easy to share the author's basic conviction that 'Archaeology is fun'.

Professor Mick Aston has so far appeared in seven series on archaeology for Channel 4. He is the author of the standard work on landscape archaeology, Interpreting the Landscape, and is a tireless - and immensely popular - lecturer.

4.0 out of 5 stars Interesting and accessible, but too short, 16 Aug 2000
By A Customer
This is a good brief introduction to some Mick Aston's (of Time Team) archaeological interests. The first few chapters are autobiographical, the rest explain a bit more about his specific interests, for example the archaeology of buildings. The tone is kept light and accessible, and makes you want to find out more about some of the things he talks about (there's a good bibliography for further reading). The only thing I can say against the book is that it's too short, and therefore quite expensive for what you get.

4.0 out of 5 stars Micks Archaeology, 23 Dec 2005
If you like Time Team and enjoy a passing interest in archeology then you will enjoy this book , there are lots of pictures and he explains what his obsession is with Monastries . You dont learn much about him as a person ie it is not an autobiography but you learn how he became interested in archaeology . I also have found useful the 'further reading 'section in the book .

I bought this book last week and I love it. It is filled with all the stories of how Mick got his interest in archaeology and is a really usefull and fun book to have.

The writing manages to keep you hooked one things you may not normally be interested in but I am fascinated by this book and it has reignited my passion for history.
