Interpreting medieval effigies: The evidence from Yorkshire to 1400

Abstract

general reader, and, on the whole, it meets this intention. Occasionally, there is the slight ‘crunching of gears’ between chapters as the topic and focus changes, but there has been enough editing and rewriting to ensure a general sense of flow and to avoid undue repetition or complex technical detail. The resulting volume is a clear, effective and up-to-date review of the early historic archaeology of North-East Scotland making the latest research accessible to the enthusiastic amateur at an extremely modest cost (less than half the price it would cost a non-subscriber to access just one of these articles via the original journal!). It’s an attractively presented, easily accessible way in for anyone interested in Pictish archaeology.
