1974 was marked by two important events for the archaeology of Northamptonshire. One was the formation of the Northamptonshire Archaeological Society and the other, the publication of "The Northamptonshire Landscape" by John Steane as part of the series of works edited by W. G. Hoskins entitled "The Making of the English Landscape".
Thirty years later the NAS was still going strong and it was decided that a new account of the county's archaeological record should be published. The book, "The Archaeology of Northamptonshire" was published 30 November 2004, with 200 pages and 125 illustrations (B&W and colour).
