Rethinking Roundhouses

Later Prehistoric Settlement in Britain and Beyond

Beschreibung

Of all structural or material remains from later British prehistory, roundhouses are probably the most archetypical, with a great range of regional variants in terms of ground plans and structural materials used. This study rethinks the archaeology of roundhouses, based on the latest development-led research excavation.
