Neolithic Horizons investigates some of our most remarkable and
iconic archaeological sites: the great public monuments at
Stonehenge and Avebury and others like them and places them within
their landscape context-the rolling chalklands of Wessex. Rightly
famous the world over, these monuments are complemented by less
well-known, contemporary, foci such as the earthen circles at
Knowlton, in Dorset, or Marden, in Wiltshire and seen to be part of
an earth-shifting tradition that extended right across the region
and traced back to our very earliest monuments, long barrows and
causewayed enclosures. After Stonehenge, the tradition continued
with the construction of enormous numbers of circular burial mounds
along the river valleys and hillsides. Indeed, few other regions in
Europe can match the scale and intensity of development at these
ceremonial complexes. These locations, places of ritual, must
nevertheless be viewed as part of a wider landscape; one where
features of the land are continually changing according to the
influence of local inhabitants.Whilst charting a remarkable
archaeological legacy, this book reveals the developing landscape
of grassland, settlements and fields; the product of the early
farming communities who lived their lives in the shadow of the
monuments.
