Few researchers of post-medieval material culture, whatever their specialties, can afford to ignore this book. . . . This combination of keen young minds at an early stage in their careers with mature and informed mentoring by some of the world's foremost scholars in the field (not just individual supervisors, but the entire faculty was available for consultation), working within a critical academic culture and drawing on the resources of INA has proven highly productive. The outcome was clearly beneficial to all concerned. Scholars from other institutions contributed specialist reports, while the whole enterprise was coordinated and supervised by the Texas Historical Commission. --International Journal of Nautical Archaeology --International Journal of Nautical Archaeology The quality of the publication is excellent. Texas A&M University Press has produced more than just an attractive coffee table book. It is a first-rate scholarly treatise. . . . The editors have presented both debate and detail for the readers to judge for themselves. La Belle: The Archaeology of a Seventeenth-Century Vessel of New World Colonization is important for any serious study of the archaeology of this period in New World history. --American Antiquity --American Antiquity
