'… the book … will become the standard reference work on the
subject for both specialists and non-specialists, the first port of
call when any information is needed.' Journal of Archaeological
Science
'In Mesolithic Europe, Geoff Bailey and Penny Spikins are to be
congratulated for having provided us with a comprehensive summary
of current knowledge of the Mesolithic of much of Europe. The book
is a large one which is useful in that it covers areas frequently
given considerably less attention in equivalent volumes, most of
which tend to concentrate on specific regions of the continent. …
One thing which becomes increasingly apparent as one reads the
chapters in this book is the richness and diversity of the
Mesolithic archaeological record in the areas covered. … For this
the authors and editors are to be congratulated in providing what
will surely become a standard work of reference for years to come.'
Cambridge Archaeological Journal
'Mesolithic Europe has allowed a remarkable gathering of
well-established scholars from different traditions, and will
become a key reference for students and researchers, bearing in
mind the virtual absence of monographic works on this topic.'
