In The Virginia Adventure, Noel Hume turns his attention to the two earliest English settlements in Virginia, Roanoke and James Towne, with fascinating results.

All the Best Rubbish: The Classic Ode to Collecting
( One person's trash is another's treasure! In his newly...)
One person's trash is another's treasure! In his newly revised classic, All the Best Rubbish, Ivor NoËl Hume traces the fascinating history of collecting from its recorded beginnings and describes the remarkable detective work that goes into establishing the probable facts about uncovered and often underappreciated treasures. Now expanded with hints, tips, and helpful information about antique-hunting online, All the Best Rubbish is the ideal book for the antiquarian or amateur, the historian or professional collector—for anyone who knows that there's no such thing as "just junk." NoËl Hume, former head of the Department of Archaeology for Colonial Williamsburg, has pursued bottles, pottery, clocks, and coins through junk shops, street markets, attics, and cellars on two continents. He's unearthed the most fascinating—and valuable—rubbish from the most unlikely places: the shores of the Thames in London; the lagoons of the Caribbean; the bottom of Martha Washington's well. Hume knows everything that's worth knowing about collecting—why we do it, what we can find, where we can find it, and what we can learn from it.

Long out of print, this highly acclaimed book is available again with a new Preface and Afterword for a new generation of readers. Published in 1963 when historical archaeology was in its infancy, Here Lies Virginia details the archaeology and excavation of Roanoke Island, Jamestown, Williamsburg, and Yorktown, Virginia. Combining artifacts and written records, Ivor Noel Hume provides an intimate portrait of colonial life. In his new Afterword, Noel Hume discusses the changes that have taken place in the field of historical archaeology since the book was first published thirty years ago. He uncovers both the advantages and the shortcomings of computer technology in archaeology as well as problems caused by the separation of artifact studies from archaeological site interpretation. This first paperback edition will bring back into print a treasury of the archaeological history of Virginia.
