Rezensionen

"...it is very pleasing to see this splendid new work by two of Britain's leading practitioners on the subject. They capture the sparse but fascinating evidence for the human occupation of Britain..." - Nick Barton, British Archaeology, UK

"This is a well-written and authoritative study, packed full of the latest information on archaeological ideas. It is a well-paced and absorbing read." - Nick Barton, British Archaeology, UK

"This volume is an extremely rich source of Palaeolithic data and interpretations. Although it focuses mostly on the British Isles, each chapter includes information and discussion that pertain to the whole of Europe and, frequently, extends beyond the geographical boundaries of the European continent. Thus, it is a perfect study for all of those who are interested in archaeology and prehistory, both students and professionals, from all four corners of the world." - Nuno Bicho, European Journal of Archaeology
