Prehistoric Britain

The Neolithic of the Irish Sea: Materiality and traditions of practice
edited by Vicki Cummings and Chris Fowler
This collection of 24 papers aims to reconsider the nature and significance of the Irish Sea as an area of cultural interaction during the Neolithic period. The traditional character of work across this region has emphasised the existence of prehistoric contact, with sea routes criss-crossing between Ireland, the Isle of Man, Anglesey and the British mainland. A parallel course of investigation, however, has demonstrated that the British and ...

Gathering Time: Dating the Early Neolithic Enclosures of Southern Britain and Ireland
by Alasdair Whittle, Frances Healy and Alex Bayliss
Gathering Time presents the results of a major dating programme that re-writes the early Neolithic of Britain by more accurately dating enclosures, a phenomenon that first appeared in the early Neolithic: places of construction, labour, assembly, ritual and deposition. The project has combined hundreds of new radiocarbon dates with hundreds of existing dates, using a Bayesian statistical framework. Such formal chronological modelling is ...

Carving a Future for British Rock Art: New Directions for Research, Management and Presentation
edited by Tertia Barnett and Kate Sharpe
Over the last few years, the ways in which we perceive and document rock art have shifted irreversibly. Prehistoric rock art played little part in the development of British and Irish archaeology and was not recognised until the 19th century, when its equivalents in Scandinavia and the Iberian Peninsula were already well known. Previously considered a fringe activity and the work of amateur archaeologists, over the last 30 years the situation has ...

Fear of Farming
by Caroline Wickham-Jones
The environmental crisis is one of the most pressing concerns to face the population of the world today.

But in reality the issue is far more fundamental and stretches back further in time than many of us might think. This book traces the origins of our present situation to the changes that came about with the introduction of farming to ...

The Earlier Iron Age in Britain and the Near Continent
edited by Colin Haselgrove and Rachel Pope
For much of Britain, the Earlier Iron Age has eluded attention and been characterised more by what it lacks than what it comprises: for Bronze Age studies it lacks bronze, while from the perspective of the Later Iron Age it lacks elaborate enclosures. This is in stark contrast with mainland Europe which has yielded a wealth of burial evidence and links with Mediterranean trade. New evidence on both sides of The Channel has evened out these ...

Mesolithic Settlement in the North Sea Basin: A Case Study from Howick, North-East England

The archaeological remains at Howick consist of a Mesolithic hut site and an Early Bronze Age cist cemetery located on a modern cliff edge overlooking a small estuary. This volume is devoted to the reporting and interpretation of the Mesolithic remains. Three huts had been constructed on the Howick site, with no evidence to indicate a gap between these occupations, and the remains inside the hut were all consistent with its use as a habitation ...

Neolithic Settlement in Ireland and Western Britain
edited by Ian Armit, Eileen Murphy, Eiméar Nelis and Derek Simpson
The past few years have seen an upsurge in the numbers of known Neolithic settlements in Ireland.

This papers in this volume were presented at a conference held at Queen's University, Belfast in 2001, which provided a forum for a discussion of the new Neolithic material from Ireland in its wider ...
