5.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent starter

OK as an introduction
This slim book covers many elements of western underwater archaeology in a semi-chronological format, but it doesn't pull it all together cleanly.

This review is from: Discoveries: Underwater Archaeology (Discoveries (Harry Abrams)) (Paperback)
This slim book covers many elements of western underwater archaeology in a semi-chronological format, but it doesn't pull it all together cleanly. The text feels disjoint - jumping from subject to subject - with a few recurring elements to lend continuity. There are many pictures and illustrations to help explain key concepts, and the picture-to-text ratio is nice for an introductory book. Perhaps because of the breadth and depth (no pun intended) of material to be covered, the book only occasionally captures the inherent excitement of the subject.The binding of the copy I have came apart before I finished reading it, and I don't think it would survive rough handling. Overall, an OK value as an introductory book on underwater archaeology.
