Archaeology of Wigford and the Brayford Pool

This volume provides good evidence from the outer part of a major town in the Roman and medieval periods. Much of the key data from here can be absorbed into period and site type syntheses and the best examples (the St Marks church sequence) and good data from contentious periods (final phase Roman and dark earth) may surface in teaching notes and undergraduate essays. Those actively researching and excavating Lincoln will find this invaluable, whilst those of us researching urban forms and functions will welcome, note, absorb and occasionally utilize.' ~Paul Spoerry, Antiquity, Vol. 76, 2002

It is a useful synthesis of reports on many early excavations in an important part of the City of Lincoln;' ~Mark Redknap, Post-Medieval Archaeology, 2003

Clearly it is intended to be a definitive publication for researchers and it is certainly the key to the archive, from which any future non-excavational research is likely to be derived and from which some useful prediction of ground conditions on future sites can be made, for planning purposes. As such it needed to be done, and certainly represents value for money.' ~Andrew White, Lincolnshire History and Archaeology, 2001
