The hill of Chtouri, on which the largest hillfort in Western Thessaly 🇬🇷 is located

📕

Michelle Comber & Kieran O’Conor (ed.)'s 'People, prehistory and the past' is a collection of essays on prehistoric and medieval Ireland in honour of one of the foremost archaeologists of Irish prehistory, John Waddell.

"The essays in this book are nearly all written by his immediate colleagues, which means that most are focused on north-western Ireland and particularly the area of Rathcrogan in which he, himself, has done so much good and innovative work".
