This edited book details some of the new developments in the major fields of interest of the late Grahame Clark, one of the foremost figures in prehistoric archaeology. The perspective is global, with studies from Australia, on American archaeology, South-east Asia, Scandinavia, Northern Europe, Southern France, and Turkey.

In this work, John Coles provides insights on the foreign policy process—how governments have struggled to come to terms with the country's changing circumstances in the second half of the 20th century, how policy is made today, and what foreign policy means at the close of the millennium. He gives his own view of the problems which obstruct good policy and offers his personal solutions. He also considers attempts that have been made to define a role for Britain overseas, arguing that the range and quality of British activity across the globe have much to do with our sense of "Britishness." He finds that the "Idea of Britain" is not as faded as its detractors may like to think.

The "committed wetlanders" write with enthusiasm and passion about these damp places they have made their own. In part a testimony to the contribution of wetland archaeology, the authors trace its history through the major landmarks. Their own renowned excavations, such as the Glastonbury lake village and the Somerset sweet track, are set within a global context. The variety of finds and detailed reconstructions with which the book is illustrated bear witness to the unique richness of wetland sites. Yet it also contains a desperate note at a time when discoveries are getting rarer and mechanical extraction more fierce. Positive proposals are put forward in the form of strategies for surveyng, protection and management. Engaging, informative, well-presented and written in a vigorous, lively style.

Archaeology by Experiment (Routledge Library Editions: Archaeology)

Experimental archaeology is a new approach to the study of early man. By reconstructing and testing models of ancient equipment with the techniques available to early man, we learn how he lived, hunted, fought and built. What did early man eat? How did he store and cook his food? How did he make his tools and weapons and pottery? Such everyday questions, besides the more dramatic mysteries associated with the monuments of Easter Island and Stonehenge and the colonization of Polynesia, can all be explored by experiment.
