An invigorating journey through Britain's prehistoric landscape,
and an insight into the lives of its inhabitants. 'Highly
compelling' Spectator, Books of the Year 'An evocative foray into
the prehistoric past' BBC Countryfile Magazine 'Vividly relating
what life was like in pre-Roman Britain' Choice Magazine 'Makes
life in Britain BC often sound rather more appealing than the
frenetic and anxious 21st century!' Daily Mail In Scenes from
Prehistoric Life, the distinguished archaeologist Francis Pryor
paints a vivid picture of British and Irish prehistory, from the
Old Stone Age (about one million years ago) to the arrival of the
Romans in AD 43, in a sequence of fifteen profiles of ancient
landscapes. Whether writing about the early human family who trod
the estuarine muds of Happisburgh in Norfolk c.900,000 BC, the
craftsmen who built a wooden trackway in the Somerset Levels early
in the fourth millennium BC, or the Iron Age denizens of Britain's
first towns, Pryor uses excavations and surveys to uncover the
daily routines of our ancient ancestors. By revealing how our
prehistoric forebears coped with both simple practical problems and
more existential challenges, Francis Pryor offers remarkable
insights into the long and unrecorded centuries of our early
history, and a convincing, well-attested and movingly human
portrait of prehistoric life as it was really lived.
