THE HISTORY AND ARCHAEOLOGY OF PORTS - In this survey the establishment of ports is set against the background of medieval trade with nearby Europe, and the subsequent elaboration of their facilities is traced through chronological and thematic chapters dealing with the changing relationship between ports during the Commercial Revolution; the building of harbours and docks in the early stages of industrialisation; and the creation of dock systems in major ports c. 1800-40.
