If you have recently completed a history thesis, book or article relating to such themes as the historic landscape, past settlement patterns, place-names, the heritage industry, architectural history, town planning, demography or cultural change/continuity, then it might merit a mention in the British Archaeological Bibliography (BAB).
The BAB is an archaeological abstracting service administered by the Council for British Archaeology, but funded by a consortium of nine archaeological organisations in the United Kingdom. The bibliography aims to provide comprehensive coverage of archaeological literature relating to both Britain and Ireland, including publications on heritage management, specialist scientific reports, archaeological theory, and both public and political dimensions of the profession.
While a number of periodicals in Munster and neighbouring counties are covered, some might not have reached the bibliography’s attention yet. If you would like the contents of your local journal or specialist newsletter to be considered for inclusion, or your postgraduate thesis, contact Greg Fewer, ‘Les Revenants’, Corballymore, Dunmore East, Co. Waterford. Since the bibliography is widely subscribed to in the United States as well as in Britain, it is a very useful way of getting the results of your postgraduate (or other) research known to a wider, international, archaeological and history community.
A subscription to BAB for 1996 costs, in sterling, £45 (individuals), £35 (students), or £99 (institutions), and is available from: BAB Subscriptions, c/o Council for British Archaeology, Bowes Morrell House, 111 Walmgate, York Y01 2UA, England.
