Enclosures in Neolithic Europe: Essays on Causewayed and Non-Causewayed Sites

These papers complement the Royal Commission on the Historical Monuments of England (RCHME) project which has systematically recorded all known Neolithic enclosures in England by both analytical topographic survey techniques and aerial transcription. The detailed regional data collected has allowed a radical reinterpretation of these sites and the recognition that there are regional groups of enclosures. The papers serve to broaden the discussion about the structure and form of causewayed monuments beyond lowland England, looking at a wide geographical range of sites across central Europe, as well as considering some sites which do not conform to the traditional type but which have been proved by excavation to have a Neolithic context.

Riassunto

These papers come from a conference on Neolithic Causewayed Enclosures in Europe held in London in 1999.
