Prehistoric Britain by Timothy Darvill

Prehistoric Britain by Timothy Darvill

Prehistoric Britain, now in its second edition, examines the development of human societies in Britain from earliest times to the Roman conquest of AD 43, as revealed by archaeological evidence. Special attention is given to six themes which are traced through prehistory: subsistence, technology, ritual, trade, society, and population.

Praise for the first edition:

'Excellent and readable, and informed by a love of the land' – Financial Times

'A lively up-to-date introduction.' – Oxbow News

'Darvill's book provides a pleasing introduction to the story of British prehistory.' – TLS

'Tim Darvill has shown that there is always a place for a well-written account of the subject that makes effective use of modern approaches.' – British Archaeological News
