Description
Britain B.C. Life in Britain and Ireland Before the Romans by Francis Pryor A fresh perspective on the history of Ancient Britain and Ireland is offered in this groundbreaking book. Francis Pryor challenges the traditional view of Britain's history, which begins with the Roman Conquest, by exploring the lives of our ancestors from half a million years ago to the pre-Roman period. Pryor examines the ceremonial landscapes of Stonehenge, Seahenge, Avebury, and the Bend of the Boyne, as well as the everyday artefacts of day-to-day life, to create a vivid portrait of life in Ancient Britain and Ireland. New archaeological discoveries, including aerial photography and coastal erosion, have shed new light on this period, revealing a more sophisticated life than previously thought. By re-examining the evidence, Pryor offers a radical rethinking of Britain's prehistory, one that is both authoritative and thought-provoking.
