Publications
The Archaeological Service aims to promote the heritage of North Hertfordshire through a variety of means. An important way is producing books and booklets in a popular format that will appeal to the general reader as well as technical reports for the archaeological specialist. As a relatively new venture, there are as yet only a few available publications.
The Archaeology of North Hertfordshire series
 | K J Fitzpatrick-Matthews and Gilbert R Burleigh 2007 Ancient Baldock: the story of an Iron Age and Roman town. An up-to-date summary of what has been discovered about ancient Baldock since the site was first recognised in 1925. It deals with all aspects of life and death in the ancient town and provides information and pictures never previously published, including a short account of the discovery of the temple treasure of the local goddess Senuna at Ashwell. There is a short bibliography for further reading, how to get involved in archaeology locally and information on how to report any discoveries you may make. | ||
