Nonsuch Palace 2, Domestic Material
by Martin Biddle
Nonsuch in Surrey was Henry VIII's last and most fantastic palace. Begun in 1538, at the start of the 30th year of Henry's reign, the palace was intended as a triumphal celebration of the power and the grandeur of Henry VIII and the Tudor dynasty. The site was chosen for its fine countryside and hunting potential.

As yet, however, there has been no attempt to explore this concern historically and look at how the boundary between good and bad parenting may have changed across time.

edited by Geoff Egan and Ronn Michael
Even before the Mayflower sailed across the Atlantic in 1620, the material and cultural lives of the 'Old' and 'New' worlds were inextricably linked.

This book discusses the unique methodologies which historical archaeologists (in both Britain ...
