Description: Explore the rich history of Virginia with "Discovering Virginia's Colonial Artifacts" by Bill Dancy. This hardcover book, published in 2010, is a fascinating journey through the archaeology of colonial Virginia. The book is beautifully illustrated and covers a range of topics including American history and colonialism. The book is perfect for an intended audience of adults and ages 9-12. It is written in English and is a great addition to any history lover's collection. The book was manufactured in the United States and is sure to provide hours of entertainment and education. FROM THE AUTHOR: This book, entitled “DISCOVERING VIRGINIA’S COLONIAL ARTIFACTS – A Comprehensive Guide to Recovery, Identification and Preservation”, is 400 pages in length and packed with nearly 1000 color photos of 16th thru 18th century artifacts I’ve personally recovered over the last 20+ years along with many quality post-colonial finds that randomly turn up at early sites. I also believe it’s the first of its kind in this subject matter area to hit the market. But don’t be misled by the title as this is a must-have not only for colonial enthusiasts, but for all novice and veteran relic hunters as well as it covers a wide range of pertinent topics including research methods, how to secure permission, reading and searching sites, finding and excavating trash pits, artifact cleaning, preservation, documentation and display, ethics, and much more. The Contents section from the book is provided below to give you a better idea of the specific scope of the book. It’s basically doubling as both a “how-to” manual as well as a colonial artifact “encyclopedia” covering all major categories to help more precisely identify and date your finds. It also contains 40 sidebars scattered throughout the book that expand on various topics of interest plus a listing of “Suggested Resources” at the end of most chapters that identifies other publications, websites, technical papers, etc, for additional reading if desired. It’s also printed in all color on high quality, glossy stock and is contained within a heavy hardcover. Photos of the cover, the contents section, and a few sample pages are shown below to give you a better feel for its look and composition.My primary interest in taking on this major challenge was that I felt an obligation to impart my knowledge and experiences gained over the years and use as a teaching tool to help educate and inspire others with similar interests. It’s also an excellent way to document my finds for future generations to enjoy and to add to the historical record, not to mention it will make a great reference book to help ID and date your finds.
