An authoritative and radical rethinking of the history of Ancient
Britain and Ancient Ireland, based on remarkable new archaeological
finds. British history is traditionally regarded as having
started with the Roman Conquest. But this is to ignore half a million
years of prehistory that still exert a profound influence.
Here
Francis Pryor examines the great ceremonial landscapes of Ancient
Britain and Ireland - Stonehenge, Seahenge, Avebury and the Bend of the
Boyne - as well as the discarded artefacts of day-to-day life, to create
an astonishing portrait of our ancestors. This major
re-revaluation of pre-Roman Britain, made possible in part by aerial
photography and coastal erosion, reveals a much more sophisticated life
in Ancient Britain and Ireland than has previously been supposed.
