London's Archaeological Secrets Edited by Chris Thomas
This award-winning book looks at what recent archaeology tells us about London's past. Themes covered include London's rivers, industry, trade, homes both lavish and modest and the Londoner's diet through the ages. There are also chapters on entertainment, including the Amphitheatre and the Rose Theatre, religion and burial practices and disasters such as war, fire and plague. There is a useful list of archaeological sites which can be visited and museums where artefacts are on display. This is popular archaeology at its best.
