5.0 out of 5 stars A social & landscape perspective of long barrows, 14 Jun 2005

By	S. Crane "Kiwi Guy" (New Zealand) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Tim Darvill is a fine and prolific author. This book "explores these sites in the light of new discoveries, modern techniques in dating and scientific analysis.Approaching the sites from a social and landscape perspective, Darvill examines the purpose and meaning of long barrows for the people who constructed and used them, as well as seeking their origins, discussing their design, method of construction, their relationship with other sites and their place in the landscape. In use for around 600 years, sites such as Belas Knap in Gloucestershire, The Whispering Knights and Waylands Smithy in Oxfordshire , West Kennet in Wiltshire and Maesyfelin in the Vale of Glamorgan, continued to have an impcct on the population living around them for centuries to come. A well written and well presented study which includes appendices containing a gazetter of sites, radiocarbon dates and details of sites to visit".There are 99 b&w figures.It is a book for the serious prehistory enthusiast, and the list of sites to visit makes it really usefull. For a brief first introduction one would be better to turn to Frances Lynch's little book "Megalithic Tombs and Long barrows in Britain in the Shire Archaeology series.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent overview, 23 Sep 2008

By	Pob75 "Pob75" (UK) - See all my reviews

An excellent overview of long barrows. Not too high-brow - gives a lot of facts and doesn't indulge in wild speculation. Handy list of sites to go and see and a little information about what you can expect when you get there.
