Archaeology of the British Isles: With a Gazetteer of Sites in England, Wales, Scotland, and Ireland

Andrew Hayes makes available in this book a popular and up-to-date account of the current archaeology of Britain. While using the conventional divisions of time into periods, the emphasis throughout is on continuity and unifying themes, such as settlement, the environment, trade, technology and religion. Here can be found answers to many questions such as: when were the British Isles first inhabited? How were the great Neolithic monuments planned and built?
