This book represents an innovative experiment in presenting the
results of a large-scale, multidisciplinary archaeological project.
The well-known authors and their team examined the Neolithic and
Bronze Age landscapes on Bodmin Moor of Southwest England,
especially the site of Leskernick. The result is a multivocal,
multidisciplinary telling of the stories of Bodmin Moor-both
ancient and modern-using a large number of literary genres and
academic disciplines. Dialogue, storytelling, poetry, photo essays
and museum exhibits all appear in the volume, along with
contributions from archaeologists, anthropologists, sociologists,
geologists, and ecologists. The result is a major synthesis of the
Bronze Age settlements and ritual sites of the Moor, contextualized
within the Bronze Ages of southwestern and central Britain, and a
tracing of the changing meaning of this landscape over the past
five thousand years. Of obvious interest to those in British
prehistory, this is a substantial presentation of a groundbreaking
project that will also be of interest to many concerned with the
interpretation of social landscapes and the public presentation of
archaeology.
