The Crannogs of Scotland : An Underwater Archaeology by Dixon, Nicholas

Description

Underwater archaeology paints a dramatic picture of life in the prehistoric past. The public perception of underwater archaeology is usually related to shipwrecks and yet there are thousands of submerged settlement sites from all periods. Most of these lie in shallow waters and are therefore readily accessible to the underwater archaeologist. This book explains the methods of working underwater and the exciting discoveries from a number of sites in Scotland.
