Also, good coverage of European archaeology is given for all periods , right up into the modern times, can be had in C. Renfrew (ed.), Past Worlds: The Times Atlas of Archaeology, Times Books, 1995, p. 160ff., 166ff., 236f., 242f., 274ff.
A work on general archaeology aimed primarily at students, but readable and with good excellent coverage of Europe in prehistory, is Scarre, C. (ed.), The Human Past, Thames & Hudson, 2005, p. 392ff., and 476ff.
