Content:
The Sourcebook for Garden Archaeology addresses the increasing need among archaeologists, who discover a garden during their own excavation project, for advice and update on current issues in garden archaeology. It also aims at stimulating broader interest in garden archaeology. Archaeologists with no specific training in garden archaeology will read about specific problems of soil archaeology with a handful of well-developed techniques, critical discussions and a number of extremely different uses. Methods are described in sufficient detail for any archaeologist to engage into field work, adapt them to their own context and develop their own methodology. While the Sourcebook aims at bringing together different disciplines related to garden archaeology and providing an overview of present knowledge, it also hopes to encourage development of new directions for the future.

«Il n’est pas permis de douter que ce riche ouvrage saura trouver son public : étudiants et professionnels de l’archéologie profiteront de sa qualité en termes de contenu et de conceptualisation (cet ouvrage remplit sa fonction de manuel), en termes de présentation formelle (l’objet est beau, les planches couleurs sont de qualité) et de style rédactionnel (les traductions de langues étrangères vers l’anglais sont bonnes). Pour les chercheurs des jardins non archéologues, issus de l’histoire ou de l’histoire de l’art par exemple, les aspects techniques et méthodologiques pourront être maîtrisés grâce à la didactique soignée de l’ouvrage ; mais peut-être que les éléments théoriques concernant les diverses approches du jardin dans le monde seront plus intéressants encore pour eux. En tous les cas, l’exhaustivité de l’ouvrage, associée à sa philosophie générale (proposer des modèles et encourager la nouveauté), doit promettre un rôle décisif à ce Sourcebook dans la diffusion des « sciences des jardins ».» (Ilse Hilbold, Histara - les compte rendus 2015) Read the full review here
