Book Synopsis

The Neolithic of Britain and Ireland provides a comprehensive overview of this exciting period, covering the last few hundred years of the Mesolithic, the arrival and spread of the Neolithic up to the start of the early Beaker period: roughly two thousand years of prehistory.

Drawing on the latest excavations and the results of new scientific techniques, this book considers what life was like for people in the Neolithic, and how they were treated when they died. It explores in detail the monuments constructed from stone and wood, the most famous of which is Stonehenge but also includes many other sites such as chambered tombs and causewayed enclosures. It considers some of the key ways we interpret evidence from the Neolithic, to offer insights into social organisation and belief systems at this time. The new edition contains the results of the latest ancient DNA evidence which has seen this period of prehistory undergoing considerable revision in the last few years. Ex
