of Perception: A Study of Barnard Castle in Teesdale by David Austin ISBN 0 9510388 0 AASDN Research Report No. 6 (2 volumes) . David Austin's interests
extend far beyond the traditional focus of castle archaeologists, and the two
volumes of the report include a detailed analysis of the social, political and
economic significance of the castle within its geographic setting, as well as
a critical examination of the methodology of historical and archaeological research
and an attempt to shed light on the symbolic and ritual significance of the castle
within its medieval landscape. This is an important reference work for archaeologists
and medieval historians alike, and a fascinating book for all those with an interest
in the history and archaeology of Teesdale and the north. £65.00 + p&p |

Roman Piercebridge: Excavations by D W Harding and Peter Scott 1969-1981 This handsome 362-page hardbacked volume describes the results of the
extensive excavations carried out by the late Peter Scott at Piercebridge in the
1970s which explored parts of the Roman fort, the adjacent civil settlement and
the remains of a previously unsuspected bridge revealed during gravel extraction.
It also includes a report on the excavation by Dr (now Professor) Dennis Harding
of a villa at nearby Holme House, one of the most northerly in the whole of Britain.
There are full accounts of the vast amount of pottery recovered along with the
coins, metalwork, animal bone and high quality glassware. Thus, finally, there
is what one hopes is a fitting testament to all the work done by Peter Scott,
Dennis Harding and all their helpers. £24.00 + p&p |
