Media reviews

A fascinating account of the discoveries and of what they tell us about the life and death of the Iron Age people.
— Times Literary Supplement

Glob deserves gratitude not only for preserving these astonishing underground survivors physically, but for a fascinating exposition of their way of life.
— Daily Telegraph

A splendid book, full of detail and fascination not only for the specialist, who would indeed benefit from reading it, but for anyone interested in the techniques and results of first-rate archaeological research.
