Set in stone: New approaches to Neolithic monuments in Scotland
edited by Vicki Cummings and Amelia Pannett
As its title might suggest, this volume sets out to present a new view of Scotland's Neolithic as seen via its monumental structures. The papers brought together here came out of a research day at Cardiff University's School of History and Archaeology in January 2002 and cover a diverse number of topics. They raise questions of ancestry and worldview, and highlight the amount that can be done in examining the settings of monuments. 128p, b/w illus (Oxbow Books 2005)
