With the publication of the acclaimed, groundbreaking Volume 1 over a decade ago, Jashemski essentially created the discipline of garden archaeology. Volume 2 presents the foundation of Jashemski's work, the data gathered and the discoveries made in over 35 years of research. Appendix I lists 625 entries and describes all excavated gardens. Appendix II describes and records, mostly in color, all known garden paintings in the Roman world, garden representations, and mosaics. Appendix III tabulates data on spores, pollen, mammals, birds, and other life forms. The volume is illustrated with color and b&w photographs, plans, and drawings. The plans, specially commissioned for this volume, include all excavated gardens listed in Appendix I. A Herculean accomplishment. Published by Aristide D. Cartazas, PO Box 210, New Rochelle, NY 10802. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
