"Excellent chapters ... .Needham s consideration of the exchange of objects over nine millennia to 1000 BC, informed by perspectives drawn in particular from Godelier, is a tour-de-force mixing generalization and pertinent case studies." ( Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute , June 2009)
"What a grand surprise! Here is an important study of prehistoric Britain written in clear English!" ( CHOICE , June 2009)

" Prehistoric Britain offers an excellent outline of the major themes and approaches that will, no doubt, be the main theatres of debate over the next few years. ... A worthy addition to any bookshelf." ( Rosett a, May 2009)

"This contains 14 excellent papers, mostly covering small-scale regional case studies from the early neolithic to the iron age. ... Goldhahn s tale of barrows and the chapters on houses by Boriæ and Gerritsen are very readable." ( British Archaeology , March 2009)

"This collection meets admirably the aims of the Blackwell Studies in Global Archaeology series, which seeks to immerse readers in fundamental archaeological ideas and concepts ... thereby exposing [them] to some of the most exciting contemporary developments in the field. ... An excellent way of taking the pulse of recent British prehistory." ( Antiquity , March 2009)
