Reviews

Five stars - "Behind Neil Oliver's dark-haired, professionally Celtic looks lies a serious archaeologist intent on telling you everything about our country's history" -- Peter Marren BBC COUNTRYFILE MAGAZINE This is a fascinating piece of little-explored history CATHOLIC HERALD a fine introduction, and an excellent encouragement to get out and see some of the places under discussion -- Dave Musgrove BBC HISTORY MAGAZINE he succeeds - brilliantly - in making people who lived thousands and tens of thousands of years ago human. In doing so he connects us to our distant past with a vividness and immediacy that catches both your imagination and at times your breath. Buy and read. -- John Clare Family Tree Magazine 20111201 uses his archaeological training to good effect in a text that is both appealing and interesting - nay, fascinating - to those who have little or no training in scientific research.
