I've just bought cunliffe oceans, 500 pages, less than twenty quid, but it is all the archaeological money shots of ten thousand years... very little though on the megaliths of the far west, or whatever spatial term one is going to use. I'm going to use it as an index for the places I find to map against what is happening elsewhere in the same sort of time space.

got this wrong, there are two cunliffe oceans, between the more recent, facing the older.. it is the more recent I bought, tracked down the older so see the pictures. It is interesting that most of the money shots seem to be in the Thames & Hudson prehistoric art from the 1960s.
