Personal investigation shows through in this volume, which is much more than a dry presentation of an urban database...Everything is presented in a coherent chronological sequence, providing a much better context for what has been found. * Medieval Archaeology * The Winchester archaeological assessment is a triumph for the team who have put it together and provides a clear, in-depth look at the development of the city, with a period-by-period overview fully illustrated with site plans and summary mapping of discoveries, superb photographs of some of the more important finds, and a valuable commentary on the history of discovery. The discussion of the archaeological potential of each period is valuable, with pointers to possible future research (including building studies), rather than a rigid series of research aims, which so often are superseded by the nature of discoveries. Especially valuable are the summary plans of discoveries: for example, the Roman Forum, the late Saxon churches, and the Brooks excavations, among the rich selection of illustrations of site plans and finds. * Current 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. * Archaeological Journal * 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 * British Archaeology *
