| Sumario: | "First published in 1988, The Dartmoor Reaves is a classic story of archaeological fieldwork and discovery, and won the Archaeological Book of the Year award in 1990. This major new edition adds both colour illustrations and two substantial new chapters to the original text, extending the book by twenty per cent. The first new chapter places Dartmoor's large-scale, planned, prehistoric landscapes in the context of other co-axial field systems that have since been found elsewhere; the second discusses their meaning, in the light of the latest research on the Bronze Age."--Jacket |
