Excavated in 2000-2006, this remarkable site contains a mesolithic pit alignment and a large neolithic timber hall. This volume presents an overview of the excavation finds and subsequent analysis, with copious maps, drawings, and photos for illustration. Published in an oversized format (8.5x11.25") the volume includes discussion of neolithic features in the neighboring area, extensive discussion of the timber hall and its possible uses, the results of radiocarbon dating of both the pit alignment and the timber hall, and description, with drawings, of the finds. The volume concludes with three appendices containing tables of the features in the hall, thin section descriptions, and pollen data, and an extensive bibliography. Lacks an index. It is distributed in North America by The David Brown Book Co. Annotation ©2010 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
