Product Description
Scotland is unusually rich in field monuments and objects surviving from early times. This comprehensive survey of Scotland's prehistoric and early historic archaeology covers the full chronological range from the earliest inhabitants to the union of the Picts and Scots in AD 843. Fully illustrated throughout, this book will help both students and visitors to monuments to understand the lifestyles of Scotland's early societies.

First Sentence
The great variety of the natural habitats, the interplay of sea, mountain, river and forest, provided many different environments for the hunting-gathering-fishing communities who made their way into Scotland from the south from about 7000 BC. Read the first page

Well-written, clear and concise with beautiful photographs. The authors are two of the foremost archaeologists in Scotland and provide an authoritative view using the artefacts and sites that are the stuff of archaeology. An engaging and readable account of Scotland's past and perfect for the academic, student and layman.

Scotland, Archaeology and Early History
19 July 2004
Format:Paperback
Academic in tone and style. Of interest to the tourist who would like to put cairns and duns, henges and Roman forts seen on a visit to Scotland in some sort of context.

Fascinating
1 Dec 2002
Format:Paperback
A survey of prehistoric and Roman Scottish archaeology, always interesting reading. Intriguing sites are discussed and black and white photographs and pictures illustrate the text quite well. As an introduction to the field (spoken as a neophyte) I recommend it.

Gift for a friend what can I say....
6 Jan 2011
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
Ordered this book for a friend in the Memphis, Tennessee for Yule, she seems pleased with it.
I'm familiar with the authors & their books studying as I do Archaeology (Univ. of Aberdeen) so I made the assumption that the book was 'fit for purpose' .Generally speaking the authors produce easy to read and informed publications.
