The archaeology of piracy—the peg-legged, exotically-clothed, fancy-hat-with-a-feather, black-eye-patched sort of piracy—is the subject of a new book from the University Press of Florida called X Marks the Spot: The Archaeology of Piracy, edited by Russell K. Skowronek and Charles R. Ewen. The articles in X Marks the Spot cover a wide range of pirate wrecks and legacies from the Golden Age of Piracy, and give the reader a glimpse into what might be the reality of pirate life and death. A large bibliography and index has been generated for this book, and there are numerous black and white photos and drawings within its pages.Read a review of X Marks the Spot: The Archaeology of Piracy or take a look at other recent book reviews in archaeology.
