520 "For almost three hundred years, excavations have been
carried out in Roman Bath. At first these were rare and
sporadic and archaeological finds were made by chance.
Even fewer were reported. But from the 1860s, deliberate
investigations were made and increasingly professional
methods employed. The Roman Baths were laid open to view,
but little was published. From the 1950s, interest
accelerated, professionals and amateurs collaborated, and
there was never a decade in which some new discovery was
not made. The first popular but authoritative presentation
of this work was made in 1971 and updated several times.
However, from the 1990s to the present there has been some
sort of archaeological investigation almost every year.
This has thrown much new and unexpected light on the town
of Aquae Sulis and its citizens. In this book, Peter
Davenport, having been involved in most of the
archaeological work in Bath since 1980, attempts to tell
the story of Roman Bath: the latest interim report on the
'Three Hundred Year Dig'."--|cProvided by Freading.
