John’s books on film and archaeology

Here you’ll find my written work – from archaeological adventures to essays about film and culture. The Michael Potts novels, including Oak Ridge and Cumberland Island, combine real-world digs with mystery and danger. You’ll also find collections of classic movie commentary adapted from the Film Noir and Drama archives.
