Product Description

Minerva, 1998
In a book of this kind, a reviewer can have fun seeking omissions or inadequate descriptions. I have played this game over several hours and I find that, for such a wide-ranging reference work, this one seems commendably free of fault... I welcome the reintroduction of this painstakingly compiled handbook

Current Archaeology, 1998
It is good to salute a reprint of the Handbook of British Archaeology by Lesley and Roy Adkins, originally published in 1982 as A Thesaurus of British Archaeology... It soon established itself as a classic work of reference with over 500 line drawings, and it is good to see that it is now in print again

5.0 out of 5 stars An indispensible book for anyone studying British Archaeolog, 8 Oct 2000
By A Customer
As a latecomer to archaeology and what one now calls a 'mature student' I can think of no better book to have at ones side than The Handbook of British Archaeology by Lesley and Roy Adkins. Over the past five years, from an A level in Archaeology through Certificate and Diploma courses to an MA in Archaeology and Heritage, whenever I needed a 'kickstart' or guidance in a particular subject or period the Adkins book never let me down. It is the one book that I have found totally indespensible and I cannot recommend it highly enough to anyone who needs an everyday thesaurus on the subject.

5.0 out of 5 stars A must have book, 15 Sep 2001
By A Customer
This book is incredibly useful for anyone interested in archaeology, especially in Britain, because it explains all the different terms and jargon that are not always easy to find in other books. If that wasn't enough, it's also tremendous value for money.
