This study, first published in 1978, explores the evidence for
pre-Roman settlement in Britain. Four aspects of the prehistoric
economy are described by the author - colonisation and clearance;
arable and pastoral farming; transhumance and nomadism; and
hunting, gathering and fishing. These aspects have been brought
together to formulate a structure which contains the evidence more
naturally than chronological schemes that depend on assumed changes
in population or technology. The book draws upon environmental
evidence and recent developments in archaeological fieldwork. It
also provides an extensive exploration of the published literature
on the subject and the scope of the evidence. Originally conceived
as an 'ideas book' rather than a final synthesis, the author's
intention throughout is to stimulate argument and research, and not
to replace one dogma with another.
