Synopsis

Ten papers, delivered at the annual Theoretical Archaeology Group conference held in Cardiff in 1999, examine the ritual landscapes of the Neolithic through to the late Middle Ages, with an emphasis on the prehistoric period. Subjects include: pilgrimage in Neolithic western Europe; prehistoric flint mines in southern England; Bronze Age funerary monuments; Kurgan mortuary practices in the Eurasian Iron Age; animal deposits at Danebury; the Newstead military complex; late medieval religious boundaries in England and France.
