Price's thesis examines small mammal remains from twelve cave sites in south west England and Wales. This evidence is related to each cave's archaeological evidence in order to determine the impact of humans on depositional processes in caves as well as on the wider environment outside the cave. This is a specialist study with much of the data presented in diagrams, tables and distribution maps. The sites, located in south Devon, the Mendips, Wye Valley and south Wales, include Three Holes Cave, King Arthur's Cave, Merlin's Cave and Symond's Yat East Cave.
