I don't know much more about it than what shows up on Amazon and on Oxbow,
except that Robin Netherton asked the publisher about it, and heard that
they're hoping to get it out by the end of the year. Hopefully it will be
close to that, because I'm very impatient!
Here's the Oxbow description:
"Material culture in London in an age of transition is a major new
illustrated catalogue of a rare assemblage of items from the Tudor and
Stuart periods, mostly from waterlogged riverside sites. Objects of leather,
bone, wood and glass as well as metal (with metallurgical analyses) include
clothing and accessories; household equipment, fixtures and fittings; and
items attesting writing, reading and leisure pursuits, as well as textile
working, non-ferrous and ferrous metalworking, leather working, woodworking,
bone, antler and glass working, ship building and fishing. There are
weights; coins, tokens and jettons; pilgrim souvenirs and secular badges;
horse equipment, arms and armour fragments. The discussion considers
specific chronological trends as well as more general aspects of production,
trade and changing styles."
