Some say that books are a temporary tomb for our intimate joys and wounds. For Clothilde Delacroix, this book is above all the site of an archeological dig. As she flounders between the drive to live and the looming presence of death, the author lays claim to her traumatic past, page after page: a nearly fatal pregnancy, a body dispossessed by medicine, and the constant menace of a cruel curse. Through bright watercolors and symbolic and comical imagery, Clothilde Delacroix tells a very personal story of self-reconciliation that is also universal: the story of a mother in the making.

A collection of reports on the situation of urban archaeology in 22 European countries. All the reports of the situation in the seperate countries give amongst others attention to definitions of urban archaeology, to previous research, databases, maps and evaluation techniques in the field, to the legal framework, financial support and numbers, status and qualifications of those who work in urban archaeology, to the balance between preservation and use, the contribution of urban archaeology to education and the understanding of the historic environment. The book is the result of decisions made during the 3th International Conference of Ministers responsible for the cultural heritage, held in Malta in 1992, where the revised European Convention on the protection of the Archaeological Heritage was signed. To promote the implementation of this convention the ministers recommend a number of actions which together might form a 'European Archaeology'. This handbook was one of those actions.
