Publications

APS produces high quality publications on a range of archaeological and cultural heritage topics. There are two distinct types of books:

 

Lincolnshire Archaeology & Heritage Reports Series

Our academic style series of predominately archaeological publications, currently comprises 11 volumes, most of which are still in print and available to buy.

These professionally presented volumes are written by a combination of in-house APS specialists, alongside nationally recognised archaeological period and finds experts. A large number of these focus on the Fenland Management Project which ran during the 1990s.

Our most recent monograph considers the excavation, analysis and interpretation of a largely middle Saxon settlement at Fishtoft, near Boston.
