Ancient Boats in North-West

At last a paperback edition of this standard work on marine archaeology. Séan McGrail's study received exceptional critical acclaim when it was first published in hardback only in 1987 and it is now revised and published in paperback for the first time. Professor McGrail provides an authoritative survey of water transport across Northern Europe from the Late Palaeolithic to the later Middle Ages, using evidence of excavations, but also documentary sources, iconographic and ethnographic evidence. In the process he answers such key questions as How were these boats built? What sort of environment were they used in? What speeds could they achieve? and how were they navigated?

• Starts with general chapters on types of transport, aspects of naval architectural theory and on the materials of boat construction, then considers the methods of building boats in early NW Europe and ends with detailed discussion of how these boats were used and navigated.
• The text has been revised and now contains a 4000 word Postscript commenting briefly on maritime archaeology since 1987.
• Copiously illustrated with maps, charts, plans and diagrams.
• A work of authority with an unrivalled reputation - now available in paperback.
