Archaeological Sciences 1999 - Proceedings of the Archaeological Sciences Conference University of Bristol 1999 (Paperback)

The Archaeological Sciences 1999 conference hosted by BASRG at the University of Bristol brought together scientists from throughout the UK, and also international participants from France, Germany, Poland and Egypt.
