This is the most up-to-date book available on the archaeology of prehistoric Scotland, from the seventh millennium BC, through the Neolithic period and the Bronze Age, to the emergence of the early historic kingdoms of the Celtic Iron Age. Written for the general reader, "Scottish Prehistory" includes a gazetteer of key sites and monuments, as well as illustrations and location maps. Advances in technology have resulted in many new discoveries and revisions of previously held ideas about prehistoric Scotland. Scottish Prehistory incorporates the latest published research and excavation results, and also reviews past theories and new ideas, presenting them in an accessible and illuminating manner. The result is an indispensable handbook for everyone interested in Scottish history and archaeology.
