Overview

Vast coastal plains that vanished below the waves thousands of years ago were highways to new territories and a cornucopia of natural riches for early humankind. Oceans of Archaeology presents these virtually unexplored areas of the archaeologicially world map. It scrutinises the submerged early prehistory of Europe and reveals a richness and diversity unmatched around the globe. Specialists from ten countries join forces to tell of flooded settlements, enigmatic sacred places, amazing art and skillful navigation. Multifarious traces of food preparation, flintworking, hunting and fishing vividly illustrate Stone Age daily life. While children's footprints lead the way to new investigations of early prehistoric life in these now inundated landscapes.

Overall Oceans of Archaeology provides a widely encompassing corpus of scientific and archaeological studies of the very distant past of human activity, presented in a concise and easy-to-read format with excellent illustrative material. The breadth of experience and expertise of the many contributors has combined to produce a volume that should make muddy footprints, old sticks and discarded animal bones appealing to even the most ardent shipwreck archaeologist and, perhaps more importantly, the archaeologically interested layman. * International Journal of Nautical Archaeology *
