and people" by Cary Meehan (good for lots of historic-archaeological
sites)

interesting and readable archaeology by Barry Raftery)

Sometimes
archaeological sites are well and truly on the tourist trail and others
you need to search in the small print. Either way, we always find it a
pleasure wherever we are to visit an interesting archaeological site
wherever we are on holiday, even if sites suffer from over indulgent
tourism. Ancient prehistoric sites always hold a fascination as the
tantalising archaeology always poses more questions that it answers!
