Defining a Regional Neolithic: Evidence from Britain and Ireland

edited by Kenneth Brophy and Gordon Barclay

This volume, the Neolithic Studies Group Seminar Papers 9, continues the development of a regionalised model of the Neolithic in the British Isles, one reflecting evidence away from the traditional 'core' areas of Wessex and Orkney. Interpretations here reflect an element of local contingency. 136p, 60 b/w illus (Neolithic Studies Group Seminar Papers 9, Oxbow Books 2009)
