Scotland After the Ice Age

Environment, Archaeology and History 8000 BC - AD 1000

Herausgeber: Edwards, Kevin J; Ralston, Ian B M

Beschreibung

This book charts the environmental transformation of Scotland from the end of the ice age in an empty land 10,000 years ago to the Viking invasions of an established society 9,000 years later. The book brings together environmental, ecological, historical, geological, and archaeological approaches to show how changing climatic conditions and a sequence of cultural impacts shaped the succession of Scottish landscapes that has led to its present unique, beautiful, fleeting forms and variety.
