| Description: |
The causewayed enclosures of the neolithic era were the first monumental structures in the British Isles, but their use remains unclear. The authors raise issues of archaeological interpretation, and use the walkways as case studies in the development of an arcaheological interpretation. |
| Synopsis: |
Archaeological evidence suggests that Neolithic sites had many different, frequently contradictory functions, and there may have been other uses for which no evidence survives. How can archaeologists present an effective interpetation, with the consciousness that both their own subjectivity, and the variety of conflicting views will determine their approach. Because these sites have become a focus for so much controversy, the problem of presenting them to the public assumes a critical importance. The authors do not seek to provide a comprehensive review of the archaeology of all these causewayed sites in Britain; rather they use them as case studies in the development of an archaeological interpetation. |
