Archaeologies and Antiquaries collects and republishes 14 key academic works by the late Professor Dai Morgan Evans FSA (1944-2017), whose career spanned the civil service, learned societies, charitable organisations and the academy. His research focused on the archaeology of Wales and England. Spanning early medieval archaeology and history, the management and conservation of ancient monuments, histories of antiquarianism, and the Welsh church of Llangar, the chapters have been reformatted, freshly edited and published together for the first time with new illustrations. Together, the studies provide still-pertinent and insightful investigations, here contextualised by a multi-authored introduction surveying Dai’s career and contributions to archaeology and its public understanding.

'This is the third volume of the new journal devoted to dissemination and debate of linear earthworks. The previous two volumes have been reviewed in earlier editions of Archaeologia Cambrensis, and the rapid production of the next volume is testament to the industry of the editors and the success of the series so far. Although this volume appears to be dominated by articles authored by one or other of the editors (four by Howard Williams and one by Liam Delaney) the content of the book has much to recommend it.' – Tim Malim (2023): Archaeologia Cambrensis Vol. 172
