Product description

From the Inside Flap

This volume offers a comprehensive account of the Mesolithic and Neolithic collections housed in the National Museums & Galleries of Wales. These collections, mainly comprising lithics, pottery and bone, provide much of the basis for our understanding of life in Wales from the end of the Ice Age (c. 9200cal BC) to the beginning of metalworking (c. 2500cal BC). During these seven millennia the foundations of our modern lives were laid, through such pivotal events as the re-population of Wales after the Ice Age, the adoption of agriculture, the start of monumental building and the establishment of long distance exchange networks.

Beginning with an introduction to the Mesolithic and Neolithic in Wales this volume outlines the main themes of each period as well as the categories of sites and finds that relate to them. This is followed by a detailed catalogue of the collections, organized according to the archaeological site from which they were derived. Each section of the catalogue is supported by an extensive selection of maps illustrations of artefact types and sites. Detailed indexes provide access for those whose work focuses on specific artefact or material types.

The catalogue and its introductory chapters provide a fundamental resource for the study of 7,000 years of Welsh archaeology.
