Designated a World Heritage Site, the landscape around Avebury in
north Wiltshire contains a remarkable wealth of archaeological
remains, including some of the most spectacular prehistoric
monuments in Europe. Incorporating extensive research and fieldwork
from the last ten years, this is the only book to explore the
landscape context of Avebury over six millennia. There is of course
a full description and interpretation of the impressive Neolithic
monuments within the immediate area (including the Avebury henge
itself), but the authors range far wider in both space and time.
Extending from early prehistory, through the Roman occupation, to
the Anglo-Saxon and later medieval periods, their comprehensive
study works through a series of interrelated themes such as
histories of occupation, the modification of the landscape and the
changing perceptions of past populations. Both authors have worked
for ten years on large-scale field projects in the Avebury region.
