520    "The events of Richard III's reign and his death in 1485 
       at the Battle of Bosworth are known worldwide through 
       Shakespeare's most performed, filmed and translated 
       history play. Digging for Richard III is the page-turning 
       story of how his grave was found, the people behind the 
       discovery and what it tells us. It is the first complete 
       narrative of a project that blended passion, science, luck
       and detection. Told by a noted archaeologist with access 
       to all the parties involved, it follows the quest from an 
       idea born in an Edinburgh bookshop to the day, fourteen 
       years later, when two archaeologists carefully raised the 
       bones from a car park in Leicester, and the scientific 
       studies that resulted."--Book jacket. 
520    Describes the quest to locate and excavate the grave of 
       Richard III, from the first idea to search for his burial 
       site to the day fourteen years later when a skeleton found
       beneath a parking lot was identified through scientific 
       analysis.
