This 20-page book describes the results from research conducted over several square miles of this interesting site, and details the results. They were looking for radioactive minerals (No surprise really – it was the fifties with the Cold War and all that!) but this still makes an important part of the literature on this great mineral site. It is also in perfect condition, which is amazing given its age. All in all, this is a scarce publication on a fascinating site.
Expert packing assured.
