Reviews
...The book is a timely demonstration of the need to discuss field-methods in late antique archaeology... The value of the book comes not only from its discussion of field methodology, but also from a series of interesting and inspiring case studies, which thoroughly demonstrates how the application of new techniques can deepen our knowledge of sites and regions. Overall, the book is a very welcome contribution to the late antique debate. It will be of use to archaeologists addressing site- related issues or contemplating new field-projects as well as to (art) historians without archaeological training trying to understand how to use and critically evaluate the data retrieved from surveys and excavations. Louise Blanke (Wolfson College, Oxford) in Bryn Mawr Classical Review, 2016.11.42
