Book reviews archaeological resource, providing information not easily accessible elsewhere. While being largely descriptive, it signposts key areas for future research and most certainly fulfils its function as a tool for the management of Winchester's archaeology. It also has potential as a research tool, providing a baseline level of information that will help researchers set the trajectory of future research into Winchester's archaeology. My main reservation is less about the content of the book and more the medium chosen for publication. Although a well-produced and exceptionally illustrated book, in the twenty-first century its function may have been better served by a digital resource more able to keep up with the rapid pace of excavation and research within the city of Winchester.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
