This richly illustrated book presents the fascinating results from a major project to examine the heritage of Finzel's Reach, the site of the former Courage and Bristol Breweries near the centre of one of England's greatest port cities. Archaeological, geoarchaeological and historic building investigations have revealed a fascinating story of change and urban evolution at the site. Naturally a tidal marsh, the area played an important role in the late Saxon defensive system protecting the settlement of Brycg Stowe. From the twelfth century large-scale land reclamation provided the conditions for speculative urban street and tenement development, promoted and administered under the ownership of the Knights Templar, and from the fourteenth century by new owners, the Knights Hospitaller. These medieval urban landlords oversaw the growth of an established and densely populated area full of life, trade and production on one of the town's principal roads, Temple Street, and crossroads, Temple Cross. Later medieval and early post-medieval decline gave way to new enterprises in the age of Empire, leading to the site's long-standing association with sugar production and brewing. The accompanying DVD contains documentation that formed the basis of the heritage strategy and guided its implementation, along with a complete set of full specialist reports on the artefacts and ecofacts recovered, and reports on the historic building recording of the brewery structures as they survived before modern redevelopment. A photo gallery and short film illustrate the work of the archaeologists who undertook the excavations.

During the First World War, 250 soldiers were buried behind enemy lines in unmarked mass graves on the outskirts of the village of Fromelles, Northern France. They were among several thousand Australian and British soldiers who were killed in the Battle of Fromelles on the 19th and 20th July 1916, the first action on the Western Front to involve the Australian Imperial Force. This volume describes Oxford Archaeology's contribution to a joint Australian and British government mission, under the management of the Commonwealth War Graves Commission, to recover the soldiers and re-bury them with full military honours in a new Commonwealth War Graves cemetery in Fromelles. Bringing together an international team of forensic and investigative professionals, Oxford Archaeology excavated and scientifically examined the remains of the soldiers and items - remnants of uniforms, insignia, and poignant mementoes of home, among them a return train ticket and a heart-shaped leather pouch - buried with them. With the full support and co-operation of the soldiers' families, this evidence was employed alongside DNA and historical sources in an attempt to identify the soldiers by name for their commemoration on headstones. Since the recovery operation began in 2009, limited information has been revealed about the project. This volume is the comprehensive account of the work. Ultimately, however, this is a story of the soldiers, their bravery and sacrifice.

For the past ten years Erin Sims has fought tirelessly to try and exonerate her brother, Justin, who, according to Erin, has been wrongfully convicted of murdering a Senator's daughter. She believes the real killer has evaded the law with a new identity and continued to kill. On the night of Justin's execution, he receives one last temporary stay. Now Erin has just seven days to save her brother's life by catching the real killer. Her hunt takes her to a quiet town in Ohio, and to the door of Sherriff Nick Mann. After Nick Mann lost both his career as an uber-detective and his wife to a criminal's bullet, he refused to raise his daughter in dangerous Los Angeles. So he returned to Hopewell, Ohio, with its homey businesses and picturesque neighborhoods. Exactly the kind of town where he can protect the people he cares about. Under Nick's watch, crime doesn't dare come to Hopewell. Until Erin Sims arrives with her stories of a secret serial killer living in their midst. In the seams of this unsuspecting town, a master-manipulator is at work: The Angelmaker. Living under cover of Hopewell's Norman Rockwell existence, The Angelmaker basks in the glory of making the ultimate choice for each murder victim: heaven or hell? Nick is not about to let anyone hurt his town. And when an unknown assailant makes an attempt on Erin's life, proving her claims are true, Nick won't rest until she is safe as well.
