Recenzii

The Oxford Archaeological Guides offer a wealth of detailed, accurate but always readable information, providing anyone who has a serious interest in archaeology with the means to derive the utmost benefit from a visit to an ancient site. They are user-friendly and highly recommended.
Judged on Scotland: An Oxford Archaeological Guide and the plans for the series as a whole these books will fill the gap in travel literature that has been obvious for a very long time. The entries in Scotland betray both genuine affection for the country and its antiquities, and the exercise of the sort of judgement that one can trust to point what will be found rewarding on the ground.
Anna and Graham Ritchie together have an unparalleled kknowledge of the Scottish heritage ... this guide is well laid out, beautifully illustrated, and with clear instructions regarding access.
Call it "Travels with my Trowel" - this splendid Oxford Archaeological Guide to Scotland is an indispensable vade-mecum for the discriminating traveller.
A valuable companion, whether on the desk or in the pocket.
