Recreating the Past
Since 1994, when the first "Time Team" program was broadcast, archeology has been brought to life for millions of people. This book combines the talents of two of the program s key players in an exciting series of reconstructions. Victor Ambrus has produced hundreds of sketches and drawings of archaeological sites and the lives of those who would have inhabited them. For the first time his drawings of individual excavations have been brought together to provide a dramatic chronological survey of British History. Add to this Mick Aston s lively explanations and photographs and you have an archeological collaboration which is guaranteed to delight. Mick Aston has contributed a passion and enthusiasm for archaeology which is infectious, so let Victor and Mick take you on a visual journey through history."

Recreating the Past By Victor Ambrus & Mick Aston from Channel 4's Archeological Reconstruction Se
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
The latest offering from the Time Team is Recreating the Past by Victor Ambrus and Mick Aston (Tempus £12.99)or around $18 Dollars. Victor Ambrus is the Team artist who has just three days to produce a reconstruction drawing of the site being investigated. He always works in pencil, with large eraser at hand to change the drawings as the work proceeds. Here we have 150 of his fine drawings, mostly in pencil, though some worked up in colour. Mick Aston puts them all into context, with a text running chronologically by period from the Palaeolithic to the present day, putting the reconstructions into their archaeological context, while throughout Victor adds his own comments and recollections as to how the drawings were made. For all enthusiasts of Time Team (Channel 4 Television UK), this will be a must-have book which will bring back memories of the more than seventy sites that have been excavated in the seven years the programme has been running.
