Book excerpt: The authors of Haunted Fells Point tour Maryland’s capital and “detail ghostly sightings at some of the city’s best known landmarks” (Capital Gazette). Beneath the statehouse dome and from the banks of the Severn River, the ghosts of Annapolis rise to roam the red-bricked streets of the old city. The capital of Maryland since 1694, the city hosts the restless dead who never left the narrow alleys, taverns and homes where they met their ends. Come dine with Mary Reynolds at the tavern she’s been keeping since the 1760s, stand vigil at the sarcophagus of Admiral John Paul Jones and search for the figure of Thomas Dance, who plummeted from the heights of the statehouse dome in 1793. From headless men and ghostly soldiers to unlucky bootleggers and ominous gravediggers, Annapolis Ghost Tour founder Mike Carter and tour guide Julia Dray narrate the eerie tales of these and other supernatural residents of Annapolis. Includes photos! “Based on years of research by the duo into the history behind some of Annapolis’ most notorious ghost stories.” —Broadneck Patch

Book Synopsis Envisioning Landscape by : Dan Hicks
Download or read book Envisioning Landscape written by Dan Hicks and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-06-03 with total page 333 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The common feature of landscape archaeology is its diversity – of method, field location, disciplinary influences and contemporary voices. The contributors to this volume take advantage of these many strands to investigate landscape archaeology in its multiple forms, focusing primarily on the link to heritage, the impact on our understanding of temporality, and the situated theory that arises out of landscape studies. Using examples from New York to Northern Ireland, Africa to the Argolid, these pieces capture the human significance of material objects in support of a more comprehensive, nuanced archaeology.
