"""This 600-page edited volume...continues the tradition for weudite, well- and sensibly illustrated tomes, and it sells it short to say this is 'yet another' important book...This consummate volume [...] provides the full 'Beaker Experience' that must guide/control the answer to that question: Who thought a few old bones could say so much?""-- ""Current Archaeology"" ""Was it worth waiting? Yes. Are the results significant? Yes. Is the book worth acquiring? Yes... one of the greatest merits of the entire exercise is the delivery to the archaeological community a treasure trove of data, providing the mpirical foundation for much work to come, and all the authors must be rightly thanked for that. ""-- ""The Prehistoric Society"" ""[...]page numbers do not convey the scale of the work that went into it [...] the data assembled here will be invaluable as the challenge continues.""-- ""British Archaeology"""
