EARLY MEDIEVAL AND ISLAMIC. Coins and the Archaeologist. John Casey and Richard Reece (eds.) (London, Seaby, 1988, second edition, originally published as BAR 4 in 1974). Hardcover, 306 pages with 8 plates, charts, in text illustrations, notes, and index. A very useful collection of 14 papers examining the relationship between numismatic evidence and archaeological context, with particularly strong treatment of site finds, hoards, clustering patterns, counterfeits, and dating problems across Britain and beyond. With contributions by Anne Robertson, Richard Reece, George Boon, J. P. C. Kent, D. M. Metcalf, and others, it remains an important working reference for anyone using coins as archaeological data rather than simply as isolated objects. Covers with light wear and shelf dust, spine fading, showing age and use; overall the book is in VG condition. From the personal reference library of David Allen, a well known numismatist, formed over more than 50 years and used as a long term reference for research, attribution, and catalogue work.
