Reviews

The prolific medieval archaeologist and academic author Oliver Creighton has now produced an excellent and thought-provoking short book on the origins and early development of European castles to c AD 1200 . . . This short book makes the formative stages of the 'medieval castle' on the European stage much more accessible to readers. -- Terry Barry, Trinity College, Dublin * Medieval Archaeology * Of necessity broad in approach, Oliver Creighton's text provides us with an accessible, lucid and compelling narrative that introduces the main themes and methods that have emerged in castle studies over the last century, and provides us with a series of illustrative examples to support each area of discussion, without becoming submerged in complex detail. -- Richard Oram * Archaeological Journal *
