The aim of this lavishly illustrated book is to provide an in-depth study of the many medieval peasant houses still standing in Midland villages, and of their historical context. In particular, the combination of tree-ring and radiocarbon dating, detailed architectural study and documentary research illuminates both their nature and their status. The results are brought together to provide a new and detailed view of the medieval peasant house, resolving the contradiction between the archaeological and architectural evidence, and illustrating how its social organisation developed in the period before we have extensive documentary evidence for the use of space within the house. Oxbow Books www.oxbowbooks.com Medieval to early postmedieval tenements and Middle Eastern imports Excavations at Plantation Place, City of London, 1997–2003 Ken Pitt (Author) et al. Excavations at Plantation Place provided evidence for medieval and early post-medieval occupation of an entire block in the eastern part of the City of London near the Thames waterfront. Contemporary ground surfaces and buildings did not survive, but associated pits and wells have been related by documentary and cartographic research to identified tenements in this thriving area of shops, warehouses and merchants’ residences. Important assemblages from pits and wells include vessels used in refining gold, crucibles and moulds from bronze casting, and the largest assemblage of late medieval Islamic-style glass yet found in Britain, alongside Middle Eastern ceramics. 9781907586163, £22.00, April 2013 HB, 140pp, col illus. throughout, Monograph 66, Museum of London Archaeology Under the Oracle Excavations at the Oracle Shopping Centre site 1996–8: the medieval and post-medieval urban development of the Kennet floodplain in Reading Ben M.

Oceans Odyssey 3 The Deep-Sea Tortugas Shipwreck, Straits of Florida: A Merchant Vessel from Spain’s 1622 Tierra Firme Fleet Greg Stemm (Editor); Sean A. Kingsley (Editor) In 1990 Seahawk Deep Ocean Technology of Tampa commenced the world’s first archaeological excavation of a deep-sea shipwreck south of the Tortugas Islands in the Straits of Florida. From a depth of 405 meters, 16,903 artifacts were recovered using a Remotely-Operated Vehicle. The Buen Jesús y Nuestra Señora del Rosario was a small Portuguese-built and Spanish-operated merchant vessel from the 1622 Tierra Firme fleet returning to Seville from Venezuela’s Pearl Coast when a hurricane struck. Oceans Odyssey 3 introduces the shipwreck and its artifact collection – today owned and curated by Odyssey Marine Exploration – ranging from gold bars to pearls, ceramics, beads, glass wares, astrolabes, tortoiseshell and seeds, including detailed studies of the animal bones and silver coins. The Tortugas shipwreck reflects the daily life of trade with the Americas at the end of the Golden Age of Spain. 9781782971481, £25.00, April 2013 HB, col illus throughout, 201p, Oxbow Books London Gateway Maritime Archaeology in the Thames Estuary Anthony Firth (Editor); Niall Callan (Editor); Graham Scott (Editor); Toby Gane (Editor) The DP World London Gateway Port, on the north bank of the Thames, is a major development of a new container terminal. Its construction has been accompanied by a major dredging scheme that has increased the depth of sections of the approach channel over a length of c. 100km, from the outer reaches of the Thames to the new terminal. From its beginning, this scheme included careful consideration of the archaeological consequences of dredging in such a historically-important estuary. Over the course of a decade, investigations by Wessex Archaeology have provided a new perspective on the historic environment of the Thames, and explored innovative archaeological approaches and methodologies for addressing marine developments of this type and scale. This volume sets out the challenges, results and history of these investigations, and the context and constraints encountered.
