Reviews

‘This report is brought to life by the actions of people in the past, which are vividly illustrated in descriptions… These details convey the tangible and colourful material world of Bronze Age populations. This publication is rich in data, well-supported by colour photographs, and well-versed in current ideas and literature. Overall, it makes a valuable contribution to Bronze Age studies and is a welcome addition to literature about the prehistory of South-West England.’ – Jodie Lewis (2025): Current Archaeology 422
