For almost three hundred years, excavations have been carried out
in Roman Bath. At first these were rare and sporadic and
archaeological finds were made by chance. Even fewer were reported.
But from the 1860s, deliberate investigations were made and
increasingly professional methods employed. The Roman Baths were
laid open to view, but little was published. From the 1950s,
interest accelerated, professionals and amateurs collaborated, and
there was never a decade in which some new discovery was not made.
The first popular but authoritative presentation of this work was
made in 1971 and updated several times. However, from the 1990s to
the present there has been some sort of archaeological
investigation almost every year. This has thrown much new and
unexpected light on the town of Aquae Sulis and its citizens. In
this book, Peter Davenport, having been involved in most of the
archaeological work in Bath since 1980, attempts to tell the story
of Roman Bath: the latest interim report on the 'Three Hundred Year
Dig'.
