Renfrew Colin (ed). British Prehistory. A New Outline

Park Ridge, N.J.: Noyes Press, 1974. — xiv, 348 p. — ISBN: 0-8155-5032-4.Radiocarbon dating has revolutionised our view of British prehistory, changing not only the dates (in some cases by up to 2000 years) but the whole picture of prehistoric Britain. In this new survey, the first comprehensive treatment for thirty years, six of Britain’s leading prehistorians offer a period-by-period account, making full use of the latest developments in dating and the more recent archaeological discoveries.
The book offers a clear, authoritative treatment of the whole range of British prehistory, from the simple tools of the old stone age to the hillforts of the iron age. With its ample bibliographies, date lists and source references, it supersedes all existing textbooks and will be indispensable for students and amateur archaeologists formany years to come.
The editor, Colin Renfrew, is Professor of Archaeology in the University of Southampton, and each of the five contributors to the book is the acknowledged expert in his special field among the younger generation of British archaeologists.British prehistory: changing configurations (Colin Renfrew).
