Drawing upon county assessments, and written by eminent period specialists, this volume presents an overview of the current state of archaeological knowledge within this region from Palaeolithic times to the present day.  This region contains some of the most important sites in England: the remarkable early Mesolithic settlements along the Kennet valley, the hillfort at Danebury and its environs, the Roman town of Silchester and the cemetery of Lankhills, and the Saxon and medieval towns and cities of Southampton, Winchester and Oxford. Portsmouth houses arguably the most important ships in the naval history of Britain, and includes the best-preserved Tudor warship, the Mary Rose. Blenheim, seat of the Dukes of Marlborough, is a World Heritage site of international renown.  Following the assessments are a series of research aims and priorities both for specific periods and for wider cross-period themes, an indispensable tool for anyone contemplating research in this region. It is one of a series covering the whole of England published with the support of English Heritage.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49590280913169,"sku":"GOR013707318","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":53649563156753,"sku":"NGR9780957467217","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0957467214.jpg?v=1782382843"},{"product_id":"new-light-on-the-neolithic-of-northern-england-book-gill-hey-9781789252668","title":"The New Light on the Neolithic of Northern England","description":"These papers highlight recent archaeological work in Northern England, in the commercial, academic and community archaeology sectors, which have fundamentally changed our perspective on the Neolithic of the area. Much of this was new work (and much is still not published) and has been overlooked in the national discourse. The papers cover a wide geographical area, from Lancashire north into the Scottish Lowlands, recognising the irrelevance of the England\/Scotland Border. They also take a broad chronological sweep, from the Mesolithic\/Neolithic transition to the introduction of Beakers into the area.      The key themes are: the nature of transition; the need for a much-improved chronological framework; regional variation linked to landscape character; links within northern England and with distant places; the implications of new dating for our understanding of the axe trade; the changing nature of settlement and agriculture; the character of early Neolithic enclosures; and the need to integrate rock art into wider discourse.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":49737900294417,"sku":"NGR9781789252668","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ LIKE_NEW \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50589786931473,"sku":"GOR014008080","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1789252660.jpg?v=1750833381"},{"product_id":"yarnton-book-gill-hey-9780947816704","title":"Yarnton","description":"From 1989 to 1998, Oxford Archaeology investigated an extensive  area of landscape around Yarnton and Cassington, Oxfordshire.  Remains dating from the Neolithic up until the Post-Medieval  period were examined, revealing a remarkable story of changing  settlement and landscape over five millennia. This volume  describes the Saxon to Post-Medieval discoveries made between 1990  and 1996, tracing the developments from small-scale early  Anglo-Saxon farmsteads to the medieval village, and reveals the  profound changes that occurred at Yarnton in settlement,  agriculture and social organisation between the end of the Roman  empire and the Post-Conquest world. Rare evidence from  multi-disciplinary studies shows that many of the key features of  this transformation took place during the late 8th and 9th  centuries AD, at an earlier date than conventionally believed.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50162563711249,"sku":"GOR005593866","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0947816704.jpg?v=1751012876"},{"product_id":"yarnton-book-gill-hey-9781905905379","title":"Yarnton","description":"A rich prehistoric landscape was unexpectedly revealed on the Thames floodplain during investigations in advance of gravel extraction in the parishes of Yarnton and Cassington. This fascinating study examines this 2500-year settlement history and its changing landscape context on the gravel islands, silted up river channels and adjacent gravel terrace. The strength of the narrative derives from the longevity of occupation, but also the ability to combine and compare a suite of evidence related to house construction, burial practices, pit digging, craft activity, farming strategies, and interaction and exchange with nearby and distant communities.  The earliest evidence for more than transient occupation was the construction of a substantial, rectangular post-built house at the beginning of the Neolithic (c 3800 cal BC); traces of midden activity, pit digging and cremation burial were also found, as well as a  small, circular early Neolithic house dated to c 3600 cal BC. The volume then traces the changing character of settlement through a period of frequent but short-lived occupation events in the middle and late Neolithic and the early Bronze Age, a time when ceremonial monuments were constructed and burials were made, to more permanent settlement in the early to middle Bronze Age. Later Bronze Age settlement was focused on small circular and oval houses surrounded by evidence for domestic activity, perhaps representing single generation households.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51570007114001,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":51570007343377,"sku":"GOR013715379","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":53649568825617,"sku":"NGR9781905905379","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1905905378.jpg?v=1750867926"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/en-au\/collections\/author-books-by-gill-hey.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
