In 1973, I organised the first annual conference on COMPUTER APPLICATIONS IN ARCHAEOLOGY at the University of Birmingham. It started in a small way and has continued to grow and prosper and is now an international conference with many hundreds of participants. This book contains a selection of my papers at that conference over the years as well as other papers and comments relevant to this work.

In 2000, as part of an M.A. course in Birmingham University, I made a study of place-names in Shropshire ending in "-ford." The resulting dissertation has now been edited and presented in this booklet. It describes the 64 place visited with place-names ending in -ford and discusses their relevance to the road system and the settlement pattern. Since the relation of these place-names to the Roman roads in Shropshire is an important part of the study, a summary of what is known about Roman Roads in Shropshire is also included.
