Reviews

Mike McCarthy is widely considered the doyen of Carlisle's archaeology and this book is a product of dedicated fieldwork endeavours there over decades. His work not only calls into question conventional periodisation but outlines pre-urban trajectories, assesses hinterland impacts and finally shows why this frontier settlement matters to its present day inhabitants. A stimulating description of a unique place. - Steve Roskams, University of York, UK
