Archaeological Avenues (2): David's book, hot off the press


Gill, D. W. J. 2011. Sifting the Soil of Greece: the early years of the British School at Athens (1886-1919).  
Bulletin of the Institute of Classical Studies, Supplement, vol. 111. London: Institute of Classical Studies.


Hooray! 

David's book (pp. 474) has just arrived from the publishers - and is dedicated to me. 

The cover shows the Methana peninsula of Greece, 
which I visited during one of David's archaeological field survey seasons in the area.  

For further details of the book and how to order, please click here.  


A snippet ...

For other independent travellers in Greece, Ellen Bosanquet's advice was to engage the services of a dragoman who 'takes you wherever you wish to go, finds the mules or carriages, takes beds and a cook (or cooks himself), and arranges a comfortable lodging at the end of each day's journey.'

p.131, Chapter 5 - Women at the BSA
