Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
Tony Brown (146-148) suggests that the chapter on geology is overly brief, and should either have been extended to cover the major works, or omitted altogether. Notes that there is no map to locate sites mentioned in the chapter on the environment. Also argues that the double page 'features' are out of place, and appear to have been written for a different audience than the rest of the book. \r\n\r\nRobert Van de Noort (149) suggests that the work is lacking in three significant areas: that it does not attempt to tell a story; that it does not attempt to contribute to current archaeological debates (although it shows an understanding of them); and that it is lacking in distribution maps of any sort. Also notes the lack of an effective index. Suggests that a shorter narrative, with a CD containing the data would have improved the book. PP-B | ||
