- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This is an uneven book, but it has some very enjoyable chapters.It tells the story of archaeology in England - its history, major developments and recent advances - in relatively short readable chapters that are akin to short essays, although they are linked. There is much enthusiasm, excellent storytelling and comprehensible (to a layman) analysis. There are digressions into the author's personal history and that of his family, which are largely integrated into the main story/argument.However, it is disjointed and in the afterword it does note that the book was written over the period from 2000, with some chapters having to be revisited in the light of subsequent discoveries. You can feel this unevenness when reading it, but I thought that the chapter on aerial archaeology was fantastic.
