There is little to distinguish the pirate from the average sailor
in the archaeological record. Virtually every pirate-related site
yet excavated would not be identified as such without the
accompanying historical record. The contributors to this volume
combine both material culture and archival research to confirm the
exploits of pirates and the ships they sailed. Expanding on the
widely successful X Marks the Spot, Pieces of Eight explores the
newest findings in the maritime archaeology of piracy. They examine
the latest discoveries at Captain Henry Morgan's encampments and
recount William Kidd's epic capture of the Quedagh Merchant in the
Indian Ocean. Other chapters include explorations of Blackbeard's
Queen Anne's Revenge, Bartholomew "Black Bart" Robert's Ranger, and
even Hollywood's portrayal of pirates. Pieces of Eight is a
thrilling and eye-opening view of pirate life - as well as the
final underwater resting places of their ships.
