  • REVISITING GROOVED WARE
    MIKE COPPER, ALASDAIR WHITTLE AND ALISON SHERIDAN
    Following its appearance, arguably in Orkney in the 32nd century cal BC, Grooved Ware soon became widespread across Britain and Ireland, seemingly replacing earlier pottery styles and being deposited in contexts as varied as simple pits, passage tombs, ceremonial timber circles and henge monuments. As a result, Grooved Ware lies at the heart of many ongoing debates concerning s...

  • PREHISTORIC EUROPE
    TIMOTHY CHAMPION / CLIVE GAMBLE / STEPHEN SHENNAN / ALASDAIR WHITTLE
    The study of European prehistory has been revolutionized in recent years by the rapid growth rate of archeological discovery, advances in dating methods and the application of scientific techniques to archaeological material and new archaeological aims and frameworks of interpretation. Whereas previous work concentrated on the recovery and description of material remains, the m...

  • THE FIRST STONES
    WILLIAM BRITNELL AND ALASDAIR WHITTLE
    The First Stones brings together the results of recent research on the Neolithic long cairns lying in the shadow of the Black Mountains in south-east Wales, focusing upon Penywyrlod and Gwernvale, the two best known tombs within the group, previously excavated in the 1970s. Important results lie in both new site detail and reassessment of the wider context. Small-scale excavati...

  • THE TIMES OF THEIR LIVES
    ALASDAIR WHITTLE
    The hunt is on for the most detailed histories of people in the remote past that we can achieve. We can now routinely, through Bayesian modelling of radiocarbon dates, construct much more precise chronologies than previously, down to the scales of lifetimes and generations, and even on occasion of decades. Better timing opens estimates of duration and the evaluation of the temp...

  • PLACES OF SPECIAL VIRTUE
    ALASDAIR WHITTLE
    This volume explores the landscape settings of megalithic chambered monuments in Wales. Set against a broader theoretical discussion on the significance of the landscape, the authors consider the role of visual landscapes in prehistory, meanings attached to the landscape, and the values and beliefs invested in it. Wales is rich in Neolithic monuments, but the general absence of...

  • GATHERING TIME
    ALASDAIR WHITTLE / FRANCES HEALY / ALEX BAYLISS
    Gathering Time presents the results of a major dating programme that re-writes the early Neolithic of Britain by more accurately dating enclosures, a phenomenon that first appeared in the early Neolithic: places of construction, labour, assembly, ritual and deposition. The project has combined hundreds of new radiocarbon dates with hundreds of existing dates, using a Bayesian s...
