Seahenge
President of the Council for British Archaeology, Pryor amply  demonstrates his love for archaeology in this highly readable  tribute to the "Wetland Revolution." The title refers to a site  discovered when it began emerging from the waters near Norfolk,  England, in 1998. Pryor labored to understand and save the  timbers that form this aquatic version of Stonehenge. He leads  up to the story of Seahenge with an explanation of why and how  he became an archaeologist, followed by lengthy discussions of  the prehistory of Britain as illuminated by his investigations.  He thereby establishes the context of Seahenge in both its  uniqueness and its representation of prehistoric Britain. This  book is top-notch in bringing vividly and clearly to life the  personal thrill of archaeological discovery and the world of  prehistoric people. Highly recommended for libraries of all  kinds.
