Anyone interested in historical archaeology, seafaring, and of course, piracy on the high seas as well as on land will enjoy this book.Donny L. Hamilton, director, Conservation Research Laboratory, Texas A&M UniversityShows that the piracy of yesteryear had the same economic impact and reasons for being as piracy does today. Pirates, along with their dreams and the dreams of those affected by pirate actions, are brought to light through a series of marvelously written, impeccably researched chapters.Steve J. Dasovich, Lindenwood UniversityThere is little to distinguish the pirate from the average sailor in the archaeological record. Virtually every piraterelated site yet excavated would not be identified as such without the accompanying historical record. The contributors to this volume combine both material culture and archival research to confirm the exploits of pirates and the ships they sailed.Expanding on the widely successful X Marks the Spot, Pieces of Eight explores the newest findings in the maritime archaeology of piracy. The contributors examine the latest discoveries at Captain Henry Morgans encampments and recount William Kidds epic capture of the Quedagh Merchant in the Indian Ocean. Other chapters include explorations of Blackbeards Queen Annes Revenge, Bartholomew Black Bart Roberts Ranger, and even Hollywoods portrayal of pirates. Pieces of Eight is a thrilling and eyeopening view of pirate lifeas well as the final underwater resting places of their ships.
