This volume arises from a session at the EAA conference in Lisbon
in 2000. Its aim was to draw together the new data from Europe on
prehistoric wooden palisaded enclosures. Wood was important to
early humans yet the rarity of surviving wooden objects from
prehistoric contexts means that it is a rarely studied and often
ignored medium. However and wherever these wooden remains are
tantalizingly discovered, there is common concern across Europe of
the lack of understanding on them. However, an increasing amount of
work is taking place across Europe on Neolithic palisade
enclosures, in particular, and the number of sites is expanding.
These sites present their own problems with horizontal stratigraphy
and phasing, as well as the more obvious considerations of dating
and scarcity of internal features. Questions such as 'what were
they for?' are likely to remain unanswered for some while, but it
is hoped that the five papers in this volume (discussing sites from
Ireland to Romania) as well as presenting a large body of new data,
will go some way towards shedding some light on the study of these
enigmatic structures.
