Fertile Ground: Papers in honour of Susan Limbrey (Symposia of the Association for Environmental Archaeology)

The fourteen papers in this volume focus on the environmental archaeology of Britain, uncovering a rich seam of evidence from what might, to the uninitiated, seem like the most unlikely places. They are centred on issues looked at by Susan Limbrey during her career, and presented in her honour on the occasion of her retirement.Table of ContentsSusan Limbrey - A Tribute (D. Smith, W.
