Monuments and Landscape in Atlantic Europe: Perception and Society During the Neolithic and Early Bronze Age

Monuments and Landscape in Atlantic Europegoes significantly beyond the limits of the existing debate by inviting archeologists from different countries with the Atlantic zone to examine the relationship between landscape features and prehistoric monuments in their specialist regions. By placing the issue within a broader regional and intellectual context, the authors illustrate the diversity of current archeological ideas and approaches converging around this central theme. The regions represented include Britain, France, Ireland, Spain and Sweden. The result constitutes a remarkable testament to the convergence of conceptual approaches to prehistoric monuments in the diverse landscapes and diverse intellectual traditions of Atlantic Europe.
