Excavations at Tintagel Castle, Cornwall, 1990-1999

"Romantic rock-perched sea-girt Tintagel is a magical place that resonates with Arthurian, associations - and the archaeological reality is no less intriguing than the legend." "Investigation of the site began in the 1930s, when Dr Ralegh Radford uncovered remains of buildings with significant volumes of eastern Mediterranean and North African pottery of fifth- to seventh-century date, suggesting a western British site of iconic importance in the economy of the late Antique and Byzantine world." "The research presented in this book comes from renewed fieldwork carried out at this promontory site over several seasons between April 1990 and July 1999, using modern archaeological techniques, together with previously unpublished work from Radford's private archive, along with that of his architect, J A Wright."--Jacket.
