Prehistoric Archaeology on the Continental Shelf A Global Review

From the book reviews:

“With the combination of a ‘call to arms’ for the future of this exciting research by Flemming, a review of the state of the science by Flatman and Evans, and a concluding summary by Bailey, this volume provides a good overview of the discipline. … provides a timely reminder about the potential importance of archaeology on the continental shelf and makes a significant contribution to the field and I would thoroughly recommend it to the reader … .” (R. Helen Farr, International Journal of Nautical Archaeology, Vol. 44 (1), 2015)

“At last, a book about inundated prehistoric sites with depth. … It should be required reading for archaeologists, with its fascinating glimpse of a new world of data. … Surely it is time to absorb submerged archaeology into our discipline. Well illustrated and easy to read: put on your Christmas list!” (Caroline Wickham-Jones, British Archaeology, September-October, 2014)
