The Crannogs of Scotland: An Underwater Archaeology

The public perception of underwater archaeology is usually related to shipwrecks, and yet there are thousands of submerged settlement sites from all periods. Most of these lie in shallow waters and are therefore readily available to the underwater archaeologist. This book explains the methods of working under water and the exciting discoveries from a number of sites in Scotland. The focus is the excavation of the Early Iron Age crannog in the Highlands of Scotland.
