Mapping Doggerland : the Mesolithic landscapes of the Southern North Sea /
:
12,000 years ago the area that now forms the southern North Sea was dry land: a vast plain populated by Mesolithic hunter-gatherers. By 5500 BC the entire area had disappeared beneath the sea as a consequence of rising sea levels. Until now, this unique landscape remained hidden from view and almost entirely unknown. The North Sea Palaeolandscape Project, funded by the Aggregates Levy Sustainability Fund, have mapped 23,000 km2 of this 'lost world' using seismic data collected for mineral exploration. 'Mapping Doggerland' demonstrates that the North Sea covers one of the largest and best preserved prehistoric landscapes in Europe.

Europe's lost frontiers.
:
'Europe's Lost Frontiers' was the largest directed archaeological research project in Europe, investigating the inundated landscapes of the Early Holocene North Sea - often referred to as 'Doggerland'. The first in a series of monographs presenting the results of the project, this book provides the context of the study and method statements.

Wroxeter, the Cornovii and the urban process : final report on the Wroxeter Hinterland project, 1994-1997.
:
In the mid 1990s, the site of the Roman city of Viroconium Cornoviorum at Wroxeter, Shropshire, was subjected to one of the most intensive campaigns of geophysical survey ever carried out on a Roman town. The result was a complete plan of the city using magnetometry but also significant deployment of other technologies including resistance, GPR and more experimental technologies. Since that time, geophysical survey has continued intermittently, using the site as a geophysical laboratory. This volume reports on the archaeological interpretation of this work, marrying the extensive and nuanced geophysical data with a detailed analysis of the existing aerial photographic record created by Arnold Baker during the 1950s to 1980s.
