Description
Book SynopsisThis volume presents the rich array of structural and artefactual evidence spanning a few thousand years of prehistory at the site of Ringlemere, Kent. Evaluation of form and associated material culture steers interpretation away from the purely domestic and contributes to the ongoing debate about the place of ceremony in third millennium Britain.
Trade ReviewThis, then, is a fine report on a fine programme of excavations at a remarkable site. * The Archaeological Journal *
