This book takes a new approach to writing about the past. Instead
of studying the prehistory of Britain from Mesolithic to Iron Age
times in terms of periods or artifact classifications, Tilley
examines it through the lens of their geology and landscapes,
asserting the fundamental significance of the bones of the land in
the process of human occupation over the long duree. Granite
uplands, rolling chalk downlands, sandstone moorlands, and pebbled
hilltops each create their own potentialities and symbolic
resources for human settlement and require forms of social
engagement. Taking his findings from years of phenomenological
fieldwork experiencing different landscapes with all senses and
from many angles, Tilley creates a saturated and historically
imaginative account of the landscapes of southern England and the
people who inhabited them. This work is also a key theoretical
statement about the importance of landscapes for human settlement.
