The Later Prehistory of North-West Europe provides a unique,
up-to-date, and easily accessible synthesis of the later
prehistoric archaeology of north-west Europe, transcending
political and language barriers that can hinder understanding. By
surveying changes in social forms, landscape organization, monument
types, and ritual practices over six millennia, the volume
reassesses the prehistory of north-west Europe from the late
Mesolithic to the end of the pre-Roman Iron Age. It explores how
far common patterns of social development are apparent across
north-west Europe, and whether there were periods when local
differences were emphasized instead. In relation to this, it also
examines changes through time in the main axes of contact between
the various regions of continental Europe, Britain, and Ireland.
Key to the volume's broad scope is its focus on the vast mass of
new evidence provided by recent development-led excavations. The
authors collate data that has been gathered on thousands of sites
across Britain, Ireland, northern France, the Low Countries,
western Germany, and Denmark, using sources including unpublished
'grey literature' reports. The results challenge many aspects of
previous narratives of later prehistory, allowing the volume to
present a distinctively fresh perspective.
