The agrarian history of Britain begins not with the earliest
written documents but with the archaeological evidence marking the
advent of the first agriculturalists from the European continent
before 3000BC. The foundations of the farming community, which was
encountered by the Romans and the subsequent Germanic settlers,
were laid by stone-using peoples growing cereal crops and
domesticating animals, and the later development of metal
technologies enabled these peasant communities to intensify their
exploitation of the natural environment. This volume was originally
published in two parts, the first edited by Stuart Piggott and the
second by H. P. R. Finberg. Part II was actually published in 1972,
with the first following in 1981. The volume surveys, for the whole
of Britain, this evolution of the man-made landscape over the
period of some three millennia before the Roman conquest, utilising
in particular the surviving evidence in the British countryside,
unique in Europe, for the agrarian pattern of prehistoric
settlement.
