Description

South-east England is largely devoid of impressive Neolithic monuments that characterise many other areas and has therefore not been accorded the same attention or significance. However, research carried out in the south-east, much of it developer-funded, has revealed new discoveries and some surprise findings as this volume demonstrates. The twenty-one contributions reflect some of the recent work arried out in the area and, as well as looking at evidence from particular sites, the authors present overviews on a range of subjects including aerial survey, soils, the study of human remains, landscapes and environments. As Richard Bradley states in the Foreword, such evidence challenges the accounts of British prehistory created from data in other areas. Contributors include:
