Summary:

Archaeologists mostly from Britain offer fresh perspectives on some major themes in the profession: the social foundations of prehistoric Britain, an archaeology of natural places, the passage of arms, ritual and domestic life, imagine and audience, and altering the Earth. Their topics include the Stonehenge landscape before Stonehenge, prehistoric woodland ecology, contextualizing Kilmartin by building a narrative for developments from the Early Neolithic to the Late Bronze Age in western Scotland and beyond, the northernmost rock-carvings of the Nordic Bronze Age tradition in Norway, and directions for Bronze Age field systems.
