More About the Author
Product Description
Review
"This is an important and original book, dealing not simply with Iron Age archaeology, but with the very foundations of British society." - Colin Renfrew
"This is an occasion for celebration...the book is readable, abundantly illustrated and has full bibliographic references. Its severest critic should give it a resounding welcome." - Stanley Thomas, New Scientist
Product Description
Since its first publication in 1971, Barry Cunliffe's monumental survey has established itself as a classic of British archaeology. This fully revised fourth edition maintains the qualities of the earlier editions, whilst taking into account the significant developments that have moulded the discipline in recent years. Barry Cunliffe here incorporates new theoretical approaches, technological advances and a range of new sites and finds, ensuring that Iron Age Communities in Britain remains the definitive guide to the subject.

Format:Paperback
I like Barry Cunliffe's approach to pre-Roman Britain and I'm delighted to have this among my reference books. He describes the different regions of Britain and the different ways in which they were farmed, lived in and defended. It's a sensible book which smashes a lot of romantic myths about the Warrior Celts. Prof Cunliffe talks knowledgeably about farming which, after all, was the main occupation of British people in the Iron Age.

Format:Paperback
The ultimate guide to Iron Age Britain for the student through to the proffessional Archaeologist. The paperback has made this academic book availaible and affordable to all.
One comment made on the above scentance said this review was of no help if you have not seen the hardback version of the book. For futher help, the author is one of the leading Archaeologist in this particular area (the Iron Age) and with each updated edition of this book further updated research seems to have been added. Barry Cunliffe covers the development of the iron age across the whole of UK with text and illistration and uses his vast experience to bring the Iron Age archaeological record to life.
If this review does not help you to buy the book one way or the other, I would go to a library, or remember there is a return service!
