Review Quotes: This project aims to take stock of the entire British corpus, reassess dates and consider arts context and role... The best papers are the commentaries by Niall Sharples and David Mattingly which put the art in context to give the reader a view of the big picture.'--Mike Parker Pearson "British Archaeology" (3/1/2009 12:00:00 AM)
