Infrared absorption spectroscopy is able to pinpoint the source of British Prehistoric amber, here shown by analysis of all surviving finds to be predominantly Baltic. This leads on to a discussion of British amber in a European context, and of its particular significance as a social indicator, and as an item of trade or exchange. Complete with catalogue, analyses, drawings. 231p with figs. (Oxbow Monograph 8, 1991) Pb
