Complete title: "The Boylston Street Fishweir: A Study of the Archaeology Biology and Geology of the Site on Boylston Street in the Back Bay District of Boston Massachusetts." From the Preface: "This study is presented for the purpose of clarifying and adding to the analyses which began in 1939. The results of earlier work were published in 1942. At this time the researches were somewhat hampered by the lack of precedent as to method. Some progress was made but obviously and perforce much was left undone. Therefore when a nearby deep excavation in the Back Bay region was opened for the purpose of constructing a building for the John Hancock Life Insurance Company we seized the opportunity to continue the work. Here we have the pleasure presenting a considerable quantity of new data." Quantity Available: 1. Shipped Weight: 4 lbs 3 oz. Category: Archaeology; Geology; Books; Science & Technology.
