Rough Quarries, Rocks and Hills. John Pull and the Neolithic Flint Mines of Sussexby Miles RussellA study on the Neolithic of the South Downs in Sussex, featuring the unpublished 1920s-1950s excavation archive of John Henry Pull. Review Quotes"...a useful reference for all archaeologists. Miles Russell's compilation of the work of John Pull is an excellent tribute to a remarkable amateur archaeologist." Matthew J Root "The documentation includes plans, sections, site notebooks, photographs, specialist reports (some on environmental data), hand written texts, typescripts and drawings all inked for publication. The finds, moreover, were all there, in storerooms and museum cases. 'To say that we were amazed would be an understatement' says Miles Russell. It makes one wonder how many similar treasure troves lurk in our museums, and whether, if listed and made known, more people would be encouraged to write up old unpublished excavations, dispiriting though that can often be. … The book presents much of the information without significant editing or alteration, so that it is essentially the original work of John Pull and his collaborators C.E. Sainsbury and Arthur Voice." Jeffrey May "A major oeuvre has been revealed and there is much delight in discovering how Pull thought about his sites and their context. Dr Russell has added a valuable general appraisal of the mines in Sussex." N James "this book will be a useful reference for all archaeologists."
