'Assembles a series of innovative studies in the historical archaeology of graffiti. A rich variety of case studies range from figures carved into the bark of aspen trees in upland Nevada made during the 1910s to stencilled rats on the streets of 21st century Bristol, and from ships scratched into the limestone of Tewkesbury Cathedral to aircraft drawn on the walls of farm buildings by horselads in the Yorkshire Wolds in the early 20th century. Through these case studies, the editors clearly demonstrate the potential of such sites to wider archaeological debates around the study of art and landscape: looking at the affects of artworks, rather than simply trying to interpret their meaning.' - from the preface by series editors Dan Hicks and Joashua Pollard.
