FLINT MINES IN NEOLITHIC BRITAIN

by Miles Russell

Published by Tempus. 1st. 2000

Fine condition in a nearly fine dustwrapper. Bringing the Neolithic flint mines of Britain centre stage, the author addresses a number of important questions: What were the mine sites? What did they mean to the people who created them? How did they relate to other monuments being built at the same time? Where were they originally dug? What form did they take? And many more... Black cloth boards, gilt title to spine. B/w photos & illustrations, a few colour photos.

Pictorial dustwrapper is lightly scuffed.
