Download or read book Stone Worlds written by Barbara Bender and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-09-16 with total page 542 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book represents an innovative experiment in presenting the results of a large-scale, multidisciplinary archaeological project. The well-known authors and their team examined the Neolithic and Bronze Age landscapes on Bodmin Moor of Southwest England, especially the site of Leskernick. The result is a multivocal, multidisciplinary telling of the stories of Bodmin Moor—both ancient and modern—using a large number of literary genres and academic disciplines. Dialogue, storytelling, poetry, photo essays and museum exhibits all appear in the volume, along with contributions from archaeologists, anthropologists, sociologists, geologists, and ecologists. The result is a major synthesis of the Bronze Age settlements and ritual sites of the Moor, contextualized within the Bronze Ages of southwestern and central Britain, and a tracing of the changing meaning of this landscape over the past five thousand years. Of obvious interest to those in British prehistory, this is a substantial presentation of a groundbreaking project that will also be of interest to many concerned with the interpretation of social landscapes and the public presentation of archaeology.

Download or read book Preserved in the Peat written by Andy M. Jones and published by Oxbow Books. This book was released on 2016-11-30 with total page 674 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excavation of a Scheduled burial mound on Whitehorse Hill, Dartmoor revealed an unexpected, intact burial deposit of Early Bronze Age date associated with an unparalleled range of artefacts. The cremated remains of a young person had been placed within a bearskin pelt and provided with a basketry container, from which a braided band with tin studs had spilled out. Within the container were beads of shale, amber, clay and tin; two pairs of turned wooden studs and a worked flint flake. A unique item, possibly a sash or band, made from textile and animal skin was found beneath the container. Beneath this, the basal stone of the cist had been covered by a layer purple moor grass which had been collected in summer. Analysis of environmental material from the site has revealed important insights into the pyre material used to burn the body, as well as providing important information about the environment in which the cist was constructed. The unparalleled assemblage of organic objects has yielded insights into a range of materials which have not survived from the earlier Bronze Age elsewhere in southern Britain.

This book was released on 2016-08-23 with total page 382 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Exploration of Dartmoor and Its Antiquities: With Some Account of Its Borders Sixty-two years ago the poet Carrington, writing of Dartmoor, described it as 'a spot almost unknown, untrod.' Although such a description is hardly true today, there are still many, even in Devonshire, to whom our great mountain moorland is term incognito, while to the vast majority Of those who reside beyond the limits of the two south-western counties Dartmoor is only a name. The exclamation Of a friend when introduced to the Moor from the grassy steppe above Okehampton, Why, I expected a great plain, and these are mountains will long live in my memory as an expression Of the popular conception Of Dartmoor. That the waste is a plain is an idea very general with those who do not know the country between Exe and Tamar, and this in spite of guide-books, newspaper articles, and the contri butions which have from time to time appeared in certain magazines. But little apology, therefore, is needed for this work. The Object of the following pages is to present to thexiv Preface.

Download or read book Bronze Age Worlds written by Robert Johnston and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-10-26 with total page 418 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bronze Age Worlds brings a new way of thinking about kinship to the task of explaining the formation of social life in Bronze Age Britain and Ireland. Britain and Ireland’s diverse landscapes and societies experienced varied and profound transformations during the twenty-fifth to eighth centuries BC. People’s lives were shaped by migrations, changing beliefs about death, making and thinking with metals, and living in houses and field systems. This book offers accounts of how these processes emerged from social life, from events, places and landscapes, informed by a novel theory of kinship. Kinship was a rich and inventive sphere of culture that incorporated biological relations but was not determined by them. Kinship formed personhood and collective belonging, and associated people with nonhuman beings, things and places. The differences in kinship and kinwork across Ireland and Britain brought textures to social life and the formation of Bronze Age worlds. Bronze Age Worlds offers new perspectives to archaeologists and anthropologists interested in the place of kinship in Bronze Age societies and cultural development.
