An extensive report commissioned by CADW into the nature of coastal archaeology and the threats it faces from erosion and tourism.  A survey of all periods from the Palaeolithic to Medieval is included with an emphasis not only on cultural remains but also on the environmental information contained within sites.  Specific types of site are singled out for detailed description - ports, harbours and ferries, military defences, shipwrecks, lime-burning, and fish-traps.  Management issues - coastal protection, dune erosion, visitor access, and building development form the final chapters along with an analysis of the future potential for research offered by coastal sites.  Large format paperback.  180 pages.  New condition.  Cat No 3513
