SHIRE ARCHAEOLOGY
Was originally suggested by David Hinton, who was a cofounder of Shire Publications but left early in its formation. This series didn't begin until 1974, though, under the editorial leadership of James Dyer. As of this writing(Aug. 2021), I only have the first 67 issues of this series listed. I did a spot check and found the series ran at least into the 2000's(last date I saw was 2008 - but this was a cursory hunt).
