商品簡介
Anthropologists Johnston (George Washington U.) and Wailes (emeritus, U. of Pennsylvania), along with other workers on the project, present the full description of their work to date on the Iron Age royal site and its archaeology. Some of the descriptions and characterizations of artifacts have been updated from the interim reports issued over the years. Chapters report on the strategy and execution of the excavation; artifacts such as lithic remains, iron, and worked bone; special analyses; biological remains; chronology; Dun Ailinne's role in folklore, myth, and the sacred landscape; the social and cultural context; and other aspects. The book contains 91 b&w figures, and the 113 color and b&w plates are included on the accompanying CD-ROM. Annotation c2007 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
