Finding Richard III: The Official Account of Research by the Retrieval and Reburial Project by Philippa Langley, John Ashdown-Hill, Annette Carson, Wendy Johnson, David R. Johnson

theladyhaxton's review

4.0

Perhaps a bit dry, but that is to be expected with an official account of an archaeological dig. The reading was absolutely fascinating, and truly made me admire the work of the Richard III society, particularly Phillipa Langley, who worked so hard on a project that seemed like a very long shot. Bravo to them for not giving up, despite significant external challenges. Their passion for the project and subject is obvious and I wish that more of their outlines and wishes had been respected in the end.

The actual work done before the dig started is the focus here. Some interesting minutiae, and also a little twitch of the curtain that falls over political posturing when something like this is successful. There are some sour grapes.
