Archaeological publications

David Gibbins

This is a list of my main archaeological publications, including monographs, chapters in books, journal articles, popular articles and selected book reviews. A number of these publications are available online, including my articles in the journal Antiquity; several others appear on my Projects page, as indicated here.

Since 2002 I have concentrated on writing novels, though I will continue to publish reports on my fieldwork and I have several non-fiction books in progress. Details of these will appear on my Projects page as they near completion.
