Drawing on fifteen years of experience of cropmark interpretation, as well as his involvement in several excavations of cursus monuments and contemporary sites, Kenneth Brophy uncovers some of the secrets of the Neolithic landscape.  While outlining the physical characteristics of the cursus, this book also addresses the limitations of this kind of typological description when applied to monuments which varied so remarkably in terms of materiality and size. Moving beyond a morphological account, Brophy considers what can be said of this diverse group of sites, and how they were actually built and used in prehistory, in light of several decades of aerial reconnaissance and excavation in Scotland. Through a close study of the differences, as well as the similarities, between these structures, this book offers a nuanced account of cursus monuments, finally allowing this important monument type to be better understood and placed alongside others of the period.  Offering exciting new ways of thinking about these enigmatic yet important monuments, Reading Between the Lines: The Neolithic Cursus Monuments of Scotland is an essential resource for students and specialists in British prehistory, providing an introduction to the Early Neolithic archaeology of lowland Scotland as well as a meditation on broader aspects of monumentality and architecture.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52656365699345,"sku":"NLS9781138913516","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781138913516.jpg?v=1762224330"},{"product_id":"defining-a-regional-neolithic-book-kenneth-brophy-9781842173336","title":"Defining a Regional Neolithic","description":"This book is the ninth published collection of papers from a  Neolithic Studies Group day conference, and it continues the  Group's aim of presenting research on the Neolithic of all parts  of the British Isles. The topic - regional diversity - is an  important theme in Neolithic studies today, and embraces  traditions of monumentality, settlement patterns and material  culture. The contributors to this volume address issues of  regionality through a series of case-studies that focus not on the traditional 'cores' of Wessex and Orkney, but rather on other  areas - the 'Irish Sea Zone', Ireland, Scotland, Yorkshire and  the Midlands. The volume commences with an introduction (Gordon  Barclay) that expands on the initial impetus and research  questions behind the 2001 conference this volume is based on.  This is followed by a more abstract contribution analysing that  most familiar of tools for the display of 'regional' archaeological data, the distribution map (Kenneth Brophy). Two  papers follow that address the role material culture plays in  both defining and characterising regional trends, one addressing  the distinctive regionality of querns in the Neolithic (Fiona  Roe), the other a wide-ranging analysis of high status material  culture and monumentality in Yorkshire (Roy Loveday). A series of  regional studies follows, with three papers focusing explicitly  on a range of evidence from the 'Irish Sea zone (Vicki Cummings,  Tom Clare and Aaron Watson and Richard Bradley). A large and  detailed body of evidence from the East Midlands is also  considered (Patrick Clay) and the volume is completed by two  papers considering very different regional scales in Ireland. At  a more localised level, a series of islands off the east coast of  Ireland are discussed in a local and wider context (Gabriel  Cooney) and a still wider scale approach is taken to landscape  and routeways across Ireland as a whole (Carleton Jones). These  papers do not simply set up 'rival' distinctive regions, but  rather suggest that local, regional and national traditions  cross-cut and combine in different ways in different places. The  interaction between regions is as significant as intra-regional distinctiveness. This volume addresses how we might begin to  develop a more nuanced vision of the Neolithic of the British  Isles.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53061780406545,"sku":"GOR007039231","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781842173336.jpg?v=1769333634"},{"product_id":"archaeology-of-prehistory-in-the-contemporary-world-book-kenneth-brophy-9781350413061","title":"The Archaeology of Prehistory in the Contemporary World","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eThis book offers a timely roadmap for navigating the material and intangible legacies of prehistory with which we live today.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Drawing on a series of global case studies, field observations and real-world scenarios over a decade of his journey as the urban prehistorian, Kenneth Brophy argues that thinking and doing a contemporary archaeology of prehistory can be transformative not only in terms of how we practice, but also how we think about archaeology and the past.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e The book develops several innovative approaches, including the use of psychogeography as both an intellectual framework and a fieldwork methodology for archaeologists, and the introduction of the concept of 'hyperprehistory' as the point of fusion between development, knowledge creation and social benefit.
