Reviews

'Overall, this is a valuable volume celebrating the achievements of one of the most important Iron Age archaeologists of the last 50 years. Its scope is wide-ranging which means that while not everyone will find value in all of the papers, there will be something of value to anyone interested in the first millennium BC of Britain or the European continent.' – Oliver Davis (2023): The Prehistoric Society
