THE NEOLITHIC FLINT

MINES OF ENGLAND

  
By Martyn Barber et al.

Only rarely in Europe do the surface remains of Neolithic flint mines remain so dramatically for all to see as those located along the South Downs and in the Breckland of England.  Even within England only ten sites have been recorded with any certainty, including Grimes Graves.  As examples of our earliest industrial heritage, they represent archaeological sites of great importance.

Using a combination of field survey, aerial photography and archival research, this book looks at each site in its own right as a major and important complex and offers a synthesis of the evidence to date.  It is very well illustrated with maps and aerial photographs.
