Description

The Mesolithic in Britain: A New Understanding of a Time of Change The Mesolithic period in Britain has long been seen as a relatively static time, with little change over thousands of years. However, recent advances in scientific dating have revealed a more complex and dynamic picture. This book proposes a new division of the Mesolithic period into four distinct parts, each with its own unique character. The Mesolithic was a time of significant change and innovation in Britain, marked by the emergence of new practices such as the symbolic deposition of human and animal remains, and the manipulation of the environment. The book explores the lives of the first pioneers in the Early Mesolithic, the development of new modes of inhabitation in the Middle Mesolithic, and the regionally diverse settlement of the Late Mesolithic. With a chronological and regional approach, this book provides a comprehensive understanding of Mesolithic Britain and will serve as a valuable resource for anyone studying the period.
