Prehistoric and Roman Essex

by James Kemble

A well written general introduction to the prehistoric and Roman periods in Essex and parts of Suffolk. Kemble writes for a non-specialist audience and successfully synthesises evidence from archaeological excavations, the Sites and Monuments Record, documentary and cartographic evidence, aerial photography and geophysical survey material. More than 150 sites from Essex and 80 from Suffolk are included as he traces the history of the county from 500,000BC, through the Neolithic, Bronze and Iron Age, to Roman occupation and the 4th century AD. Well illustrated throughout and with an extensive gazetteer of sites. The second edition has been "modestly updated" to take into account new discoveries and sites. 222p, 59 b/w figs, 32 col pls (Tempus 2001, second edition 2009)
