*Antiquity*

As well as showcasing the wealth of information recently obtained from developer-funded excavations, aerial survey, and radiocarbon dating, the book highlights the many questions that remain to be answered – and underlines the huge contribution made by Gordon Barclay in framing and addressing those questions in his own work.'
*Current Archaeology*

An interesting and useful contribution to the literature on the Neolithic. All the papers are worth reading, and the volume as a whole is nicely produced and well-illustrated. The important contributions inside deserve to be read and discussed in depth, as well as ordered for both libraries and (at this very fair price!) personal collections as well.
