This volume explores why natural places such as caves, mountains,
springs and rivers assumed a sacred character in European
prehistory, and how the evidence for this can be analysed in the
field. It shows how established research on votive deposits, rock
art and production sites can contribute to a more imaginative
approach to the prehistoric landscape, and can even shed light on
the origins of monumental architecture. The discussion is
illustrated through a wide range of European examples, and three
extended case studies.
An Archaeology of Natural Places extends the range of landscape
studies and makes the results of modern research accessible to a
wider audience, including students and academics, field
archaeologists, and those working in heritage management.
