Victoria cave Settle

[darwen dave]

Has anyone else read "The Romano_British Archaeology Of Victoria Cave" and do they know of any similar publications concerning Attermire Cave and Jubilee cave?

Haven't read the book you mention, but then the Roman period is a bit "recent" to my interests. For a (not as up to date as it might be) list of references on these sites check out the CAPRA gazeteer.

I presume the book you reference is by Thomas Lord - not sure if that is a standalone book or part of a larger publication by the British Museum .  Other recent "sources" for a google are Alan King - excavated the top left entrance to Victoria Cave, Lancaster Uni and Alan Quartermaine of Oxford Archeology North (sic?) did a laser scan of Victoria,  Bradford University excavated Horseshoe Cave - "linked" to Attermire Cave.
Have you tried a search at http://books.google.co.uk

Thanks guys. I'll have a rummage and see if anything turns up.

Would that be Tot Lord as in a couple of caves bearing his moniker in NC?

Thomas is his grandson

Tot Lord did a lot of excavation in Victoria Cave and other bone caves in the area.
He also founded the Pigyard club museum in Settle which closed in the seventies.
Most of the artefacts then fell into Thomas Lord's private collection at Winskill, although some are in Leeds museum and some in the British museum.
