Reviews

From the reviews: "Maritime Archaeology and Social Relations is an edited version of the author’s doctoral thesis … . The work is extremely well researched, structured, and referenced … . is both a very welcome book and an important one. … The book joins a number of recent works on maritime archaeology that make an extremely important contribution to the broad ‘historical archaeology’ of the modern (i.e. capitalist, consumer-driven) world … ." (Joe Flatman, Journal of Maritime Archaeology, Vol. 3, 2008) "Springer Press has added yet another fine piece of scholarship to its growing series in underwater archaeology. Virginia Dellino-Musgrave’s book contributes to the quality and calibre of this series as the eleventh monograph. … it explores 18th-century British social relations within the context of maritime archaeology and history. … this book is an excellent piece of scholarship. Dellino-Musgrave should be commended for her contributions to maritime archaeology. This work can certainly be classified as a ‘must read by all’ in current literature."
