The Kilmartin landscape in western Scotland is widely regarded as
Scotland's richest prehistoric landscape. It contains a number of
barrow cemeteries, stone alignments, stone circles and a henge.
With over 250 individual rock art sites, it also has the greatest
concentration of prehistoric rock art in the British Isles and some
of the most impressive rock art sites. An Animate Landscape
contains the results of a major research project that included
excavations of two sites, Torbhlaren and Ormaig, and the analysis
of radiocarbon dates to produce a more coherent chronological
context, as well as taking a broader interpretative approach to the
landscape. The book argues that the rock art is an active part of
the process of socialising the landscape, in which the landscape
became more organised from the Late Neolithic onwards, and that
this organised landscape relates to broader cosmological concerns.
The book is richly illustrated with colour drawings and photographs
done by a series of artists to produce a unique visual record of
the rock art and its place in the landscape, alongside more
traditional archaeological enquiry.
