Abstract:

Excavated sites provide the morphological criteria for cursus identification. Two principal plans exist: type A (convex terminals), type B (squared terminals); and three structural forms: ditched enclosures, pit (?post) defined enclosures and linearbanks. Application to cropmarks reveals a continuum from very short (5Om) to greatly elongated sites (564Om), divisible into groups titled MAJOR and MINOR CURSUSES and OBLONG DITCHES. The latter grade into cropmarks of ovate and trapeziform plan necessitating initially common treatment as ELONGATED DITCHES. Some may represent former multiple round b

Abstract:

This thesis is concerned with the nature of ritual practice during the Late Neolithic - Early Bronze Age periods in Britain. It has been suggested that a change from community to individual emphasis can be detected in the archaeological record. In order to delineate this change, an analysis of the 'ritual deposition' of beaker pottery on causewayed enclosure and hcnge monuments was undertaken, as it was considered that these deposits would potentially provide the best structured (both spatially and temporally) information. Part 1 considers the typology, chronology, and spatial distribution of

Abstract:

This thesis investigates the nature of the buried ground surfaces beneath Neolithic long barrows and chambered tombs in Britain. Excavations at sites across the country have revealed the presence of pre-mound pits, postholes and artefact scatters on the preserved ground surfaces below the monuments, suggesting episodes of earlier human activity. These features offer tantalizing glimpses into Neolithic land-use, settlement, and burial practices, but until now, no systematic examination of this evidence has been undertaken. This study fills that gap by bringing together all of the available info

Abstract:

From the mid-4th to the mid-3rd millennium BC, the Maltese archipelago was characterized by a dense concentration of monumental activity. Archaeological research has generally focussed on the monumental buildings themselves, paying less attention to the environment that surrounded these structures. The present thesis is aimed at addressing this lacuna. The history of approaches to Maltese prehistory is reviewed, and it is argued that the neglect of the landscape setting is related to the practice of archaeology in a colonial context.

La difficulté de traiter ce sujet dans sa globalité s’explique par l’absence d’un recensement systématique des sites, par le caractère éclectique de la documentation disponible et enfin par la rareté des travaux répondant aux exigences de la recherche archéologique moderne.Depuis quelques années, les fouilles menées sur plusieurs gisements et les nouvelles expertises d’arc

Abstract:

This thesis argues that henges, stone circles and ring cairns form a 'spectrum' of monuments with origins in the earlier Neolithic. In that context it is suggested that some of the structures located beneath long cairns were originally free standing foci. How the monuments might reflect contemporary society is discussed and it is shown that some standing stones might have been the focus for gatherings of people as large as those suggested for henges and stone circles. Evidence is presented showing that there appears to have been a continuity of traditions and world view from the Early Neolithi

Abstract:

The sequence of timber circle - henge monument - stone circle is widely accepted. This is in spite of the reality that the datable evidence and contextual data upon which this series is based has seldom been subjected to any real form of critical evaluation. The aim of this research was to determine whether this order could still be deemed tenable in light of contemporary research and the continued advances that have been achieved relating to the application of radiocarbon dating. The findings of this study demonstrated that sufficient contextual data exists to enable phases of construction t

Abstract:

This thesis characterizes and interprets the nature of Exmoor’s late 3rd and early 2nd millennium BC landscapes, including an unusual array of ‘minilithic’ stone configurations. It develops a new theoretical framework using an ontology of assemblages, the concept of affectivity and perspectives on miniaturisation and scale, adopting a Deleuzian understanding of materiality. This promotes an exploration of the processes which led to the appearance, use and dispersal of archaeological entities as assemblages. It includes all forms of people’s interactions with materials, monuments, material cult

Abstract:

While the construction techniques associated with building British Neolithic and Early Bronze Age ritual monuments and earthworks have been widely discussed (for instance, the types of tools used for construction, the choice of timber, earth or stone materials and how the particular structure was to be used), archaeologists have often tended to overlook those events which took place before any structure was actually constructed, that is, the pre-construction processes of building a monument or earthwork. In this thesis, I focus on three important processes involved with the pre-construction ph

This paper focuses on the monuments in Sweden and it shows that the reuse of megalithic monuments appears in all regions where these monuments can be found.
