Reviews Archive

A selection of reviews from each issue of Antiquity is available here free: two new review articles and four book reviews are added every quarter. The full complement of review articles and reviews is available in our journal and all past reviews in our archive. Those reviews not featured here can be read online by Premium subscribers (or can be downloaded as pay-per-view PDFs) and of course in the printed journal.

Please use this page to browse or search the archive of free reviews.

The books reviewed are linked to Oxbow Books' secure website where they can be purchased. A small percentage of the purchase price of each book will go to Antiquity.

Books for review should be sent to Dr Madeleine Hummler, Reviews Editor, Antiquity, King's Manor, York YO1 7EP, UK (email: reviews@antiquity.ac.uk).
