Hunter-Gatherer Landscape Archaeology: The Southern Hebrides Mesolithic Project 1988-98

Více o knize

Focusing on the Mesolithic settlement of Islay and Colonsay, this comprehensive report presents findings from a decade-long archaeological project. It explores significant themes such as Scotland's colonization post-Ice Age, early settlement patterns, and the transition to Neolithic farming. The work includes sections on palaeoenvironmental studies, archaeological surveys, and experimental tool use, culminating in a detailed interpretation of the evidence. A notable aspect is the innovative landscape approach applied to hunter-gatherer archaeology through interdisciplinary research.
