✦ Synopsis

Publication of this third edition of the London Department of Urban Archaeology's manual places their considerable experience within everyone's reach. It has been designed `for use in the field and covers the methods and techniques employed by MOLAS in both recording and excavation. It is arranged in sections from simple contexts such as deposits and cuts, through the associated activity of environmental sampling, to more complex features such as masonry and timber structures. Further sections deal with skeleton and coffin recording and finds recovery.' The 1994 edition has new sections on photography, surveying and suggestions for the contents of a site archive. Although it is based on work in an urban environment, it is adaptable to other conditions. A5, loose leaf format. (Museum of London, 3rd edition 1994)
