FACTS BEHIND THE FICTION

The 'Author's Notes' at the end of David's novels Atlantis and Crusader Gold contain extensive discussions of the factual backdrop behind each story. On this page you will find additional topics of interest, as well as photo essays on locations, archaeological sites and artefacts.  Many of the images are derived from David's first-hand experience of the places he writes about in his novels. Further accounts of his own archaeological discoveries can be found on the Projects page.
