This manual pertains to "The Prehistory of Britain and Ireland," authored by Richard Bradley and published by Cambridge University Press. It covers a significant 4,000-year period, from the Neolithic to the late pre-Roman Iron Age, offering a comprehensive exploration of the archaeology of Britain and Ireland. The book provides a new interpretation of this era, drawing upon current and largely unpublished data. Its scope includes the Neolithic revolution, prehistoric sea routes, and the influence of Mediterranean travelers, with equal treatment given to both Britain and Ireland.
This publication serves as a detailed reference for understanding the historical context and archaeological developments within Britain and Ireland. It is designed to be a valuable resource for students, researchers, and anyone interested in the deep past of these regions. The manual's content is presented in English and comprises 340 pages, offering an in-depth analysis of its subject matter.
Sited at the furthest limits of the Neolithic revolution and standing at the confluence of the two great sea routes of prehistory, Britain and Ireland are distinct from continental Europe for much of the prehistoric sequence. In this landmark study - the first significant survey of the archaeology of Britain and Ireland for twenty years - Richard Bradley offers a new interpretation of the unique archaeological record of these islands based on a wealth of current and largely unpublished data. Bradley surveys the entire archaeological sequence over a 4,000 year period, from the adoption of agriculture in the Neolithic period to the discovery of Britain and Ireland by travellers from the Mediterranean during the later pre-Roman Iron Age. Significantly, this is the first modern account to treat Britain and Ireland on equal terms, offering a detailed interpretation of the prehistory of both islands.
