Winchester: An Archaeological Assessment

“Ottaway has produced an excellent book, which summarises very well the underground Roman and Anglo-Saxon city. This is the meat of the book, and it is an invaluable resource while we await the definitive excavation reports…” ~Tim Tatton-Brown, , November December 2017

“…this weighty volume is certainly a valuable addition to scholarship on the archaeology of medieval Winchester.”

“…these are not insubstantial essays, and will prove hugely useful, as will the 88-page gazetteer of sites and monuments, and the substantial bibliography.”

“The maps and illustrations are fortified by nine brilliant essays. But to me the most valuable part of the atlas, apart from the maps, is the gazetteer… In short this splendid Atlas whets the appetite for that dealing with Oxford.” ~The Oxford Recorder

“Collation of all this material is very welcome… Everything is presented in a coherent chronological sequence providing a much better context for what has been found. And the price is very reasonable.” ~Medieval Archaeology

"Handsomely produced and keenly priced, this is a synthesis of impressive clarity and scope which is likely to be the first port of call for anyone seeking to engage or re-engage with Winchester's archaeology and history. Valuable for academic and professional readers, and accessible to the non-specialist, it does an excellent job of delivering broader public value from the investment of public money in the Uad and UAA for Winchester." ~The Archaeological Journal
