Review Quotes

"excellent... we have a guidebook and landscape history that does full justice to this remarkable place."

Tim Tatton-Brown
Current Archaeology (2008)

""The book is attractively produced, with numerous excellent plans, drawings and photographs, including many colour plates. The text is refreshingly readable. ... Overall the authors have succeeded admirably in their aim of demonstrating the great richness of the Clarendon landscape to a wider readership."

James Bond
Agricultural History Review (2008)

"This is an excellent addition to our understanding of this classic Wiltshire site. Copiously illustrated throughout, this publication celebrates the tradition of landscape archaeology."

Robert Clarke
The Wiltshire Archaeological and Natural History Magazine (2008)

"A work whose richness of treatment cannot be summed adequately here."

C.R.J. Currie
Southern History 30 (2008)

"This well-written and splendidly-illustrated account...is a model summary of 30 years of archaeological and historical research,"

James Bond
British Archaeology (2007)

"As we have come to expect from Windgather Press, the book is handsomely produced, the text richly supported by both colour and monograph photographs, maps and prints. It is a fine example of modern interdisciplinary research."

Richard Jones
Landscape History Vol. 29 (2007)

"This book is richly illustrated and a pleasure to read... One of the greatest strengths of this volume is the way in which different forms of evidence, in particular the oft-neglected specialist archaeological reports, are seamlessly integrated."

Richard Thomas
Medieval Settlement Research Group Annual Report 22 (2007)
