The implications of my work open up avenues for future research and archaeological practice. Consult the feed-back section to find out what others think about this work, and to submit your own comments. The story of my research from 1994 to 1998 documents the process of my research.

During my research I have been assisted by a great number of institutions, colleagues and friends and I would like to thank them all for their help. Without it, neither the thesis nor this e-monograph would have been possible.
