Roman Mining in Somerset, by Malcolm Todd, subtitled 'Excavations at Charterhouse on Mendip 1993-1995'
Published by the Mint Press in 2007, 88 pages. Large A4 size paperback (N5951PE)
From the rear side cover: The Mendip hills in Somerset have been exploited for their minerals from pre-history to the twentieth century. This book records the results of the archaeological work at Charterhouse in 1993 and 1995. Central to the enquiry was Roman mining in the first century AD. Details include rich deposits of pottery and coins found at the site and also recorded is a mass of animal bone of the same date. Discussion of the significance of Mendip minerals in the early Roman economy is appended. This is the most recent account of Roman mining on Mendip and adds much to our knowledge of Roman occupation of the West Country.
The book is illustrated throughout with several line drawings and maps.
Condition of the book is generally very good. The covers have one or two very minor scuffs, and some light creasing and wear along the edges and corners, but the spine is intact and all pages are clean, intact, unblemished and tightly bound.
When we post our books, we take great care in packaging them - first your book will be wrapped in bubblewrap, which protects the book and even keeps out any rain (in the event that it's raining when the postie delivers it!). Then we wrap your book in stiff cardboard, taking care to make sure all the corners are protected, and finally the package is wrapped in thick brown paper.
