Description
Prehistoric Britain offers a comprehensive review of Britain's ancient past as revealed by modern archaeology. From the hunter-gatherer groups of the last Ice Age to the rise of highly organized societies living on the fringes of the Roman Empire, this book examines the development of human societies in Britain from earliest times.
Through six key themes - subsistence, technology, ritual, trade, society, and population - the book explores the changes that took place within prehistoric communities, including the adoption of farming, metalworking, and the introduction of new social theories. With over 120 illustrations, this authoritative account provides a detailed understanding of Britain's prehistory.
The second edition has been revised to ensure it remains the most comprehensive and authoritative account of British prehistory for students and interested readers alike. This book is a valuable resource for anyone looking to understand the history of human societies in Britain from earliest times to the Roman conquest of AD 43.
