Archaeological Insights
Learn about archaeological discoveries and their impact on understanding our past, present and future. The book offers a no-holds-barred insight into the often passionate, sometimes controversial, subject of tension and mistrust between the worlds of archaeology and metal detecting with the intent of shedding new light upon and bringing into the open some of the working practices, procedures and thoughts which have fuelled an ill-wind that flurries through levels of archaeological academia.
Beginning in the mists of history, the author explores the birth of archaeological investigation from a Kings search, the grave robbers, through the antiquarian collectors, museum artefact collections through to a profession which appears these days to rely upon the construction industry and its commercialism for survival. Integrating various sources of information to highlight analytical information as well cultural, social, and economic intervention to form an unbiased argument.
The later appearance of metal detecting as a hobby which fired discontent, distrust, and deliberate efforts to either govern or ban the hobby. This distrust is echoed by the author’s extensive research which uncovered a deep-set denial of the use, by archaeologists, of an innovative invention which has become an essential tool for artefact recovery, the metal detector. This hobby, also listed as a sport, boasts a practitioner membership of over thirty-five thousand in the UK alone, the history of which is covered in depth from the development of electro-magnetism, leading to an ever-increasing number of inventions, including machines for the detection of explosive devices which morphed into the metal detector as we know it today.

Field-Names Exploration
Investigate the history behind field names and their cultural significance. Field names play an essential part, not only in rural and national economies but also as a source of historical information. This information is made available through the stud of field-names. This fascinating study explores the roots of these names, many of which contain meanings and individual input referring to ambiguous long-lost practices involving myths, legends, and customs. The book offers a new and exciting format, encompassing a uniformity of presentation coupled with something that has been lacking in the past - continuity in the provision of references. The author has drawn on a wide range of literature including sources covering: archaeology, biology, entomology, etymology, genealogy, geology, history, mathematics, mineralogy, sociology, technology, and flora, to name but a few subjects. As well as a guide to field-name interpretation this book will act as a catalyst joining collectors of field-names to a revolutionary methodological technique enabling the formation of a much needed collection of referenced material.
