(Photographs by Stanley A. Jashemski) The first volume of Dr. Jashemski's groundbreaking work was published in 1979 and helped create the new discipline of garden and environmental archaeology. To do this, she utilized the methods and information gained from a number of other disciplines (ranging from archaeology, art history, classics, architecture, biology, botany, and geology, to microbiology.)This second volume presents the foundation of Dr. Jashemski's work, the data gathered and the discoveries made in forty years of research: Appendix I lists 625 entries and describes all excavated gardens. Appendix II describes and records, mostly in color, all known garden paintings in the Roman world, garden representations and mosaics. Appendix III tabulates data on spores, pollen, plants, mammals, birds and other forms of life.The work is lavishly illustrated and printed with 100 color and 400 black-and-white photographs, 139 plans (of all gardens excavated in Pompeii and the Campagna area) and many drawings.
