This book is a unique guide to these commonly found and collected artefacts, and covers both military and civilian types. Starting with Bronze Age examples, the book traces the history of buttons through the ages, drawing on shipwreck evidence and other archaeological sources for dating. The main body of the book comprises a photographic catalogue, enabling any researcher to attribute a button to any particular group. There are a number of appendices covering backmarks, dating kitemarks, styles of crowns and coronets, French military buttons, a glossary of button terms, and a bibliography. Whether excavator or fashion student, this book is an invaluable research tool.
