Insularity and Identity - Prehistoric Britain and the Archaeology of Europe

This Element considers historiography - the extent to which insular prehistorians have integrated their findings with the archaeology of mainland Europe; and the ways in which scholars have drawn on British material. It shows how different parts of Britain were separate from one another and how they can be studied in a European framework.
