Reviews

Welcome to Antiquity's review section. Here you can read a selection of reviews from recent issues of Antiquity, and link straight through to Oxbow Books' secure website to purchase the books, as well as a wide selection of other archaeological publications. A percentage of the purchase price of each book will go to Antiquity.

Please note that only a selection of reviews are published here, and they are removed after two years, so their URLs should not be cited long-term. All reviews in Antiquity can now be read permanently online via our Online Archive.

Books for review should be sent to Dr Madeleine Hummler, Reviews Editor, Antiquity, King's Manor, York YO1 7EP, UK.
