Description: "The papers in this volume go some way to correct some of the misinterpretations presently found in archaeological reports. Contributions cover many aspects of research into the evidence from prehistoric, Roman, medieval and early modern periods as well as descriptions of traditional techniques still used in difference parts of the world today. Whilst the emphasis is on the interpretation of the evidence for leather tanning surviving in the archaeological records, other aspects such as standing tannery buildings are also considered"--Page 4 of cover.
