Description
"This volume provides an account of the lives of the inhabitants of the village of Barnhouse, a Late Neolithic settlement complex in Orkney. The excavation of Barnhouse between 1986 and 1993 in fact constitutes the largest investigation of a Neolithic settlement in northern Britain since Gordon Childe examined the nearby village of Skara Brae in the 1920s. It consequently provides an ideal opportunity to reconsider architectural representation, the social construction of identity, and social and ritual practices within a Late Neolithic community and beyond. The inhabitants of Barnhouse lived within one of the most spectacular monumental landscapes of the British Neolithic, and this volume also describes smaller-scale excavations at the nearby passage grave of Maeshowe and at the Stone of Odin. The results of these investigations provide the basis for an interpretative account of the habitation and construction of this monumental landscape over a five-hundred-year period of Orcadian prehistory (c. 3200-2700 B.C.)."--BOOK JACKET.
