Recenzje

Especially when taken together, these two volumes excellently complement each other and should not be missing from any library dedicated to this topic and/or space. They do not serve only archaeologists as an indispensable and up-to-date basis, but are also useful, for example, to ethnographers, urban planners or for tourism management.
