The central aim here is to explore 'cross-channel' relationships throughout later prehistory, investigating the archaeological links (material, social, cultural) between the areas we now call Britain and Ireland, and continental Europe, from the Mesolithic through to the end of the Iron Age. In approaching the subject of 'continental connections' in the long-term, and by bringing a variety of different archaeological perspectives (associated with different periods) to bear on it, this volume provides a new a new synthesis of the ebbs and flows of the cross-channel relationship over the course of 15,000 years of later prehistory, enabling fresh understandings and new insights to emerge about the intimately linked trajectories of change in both regions"--Provided by publisher Bibliography Includes bibliographical references Notes Description based on print version record and CIP data provided by publisher Subject Prehistoric peoples -- Great Britain Prehistoric peoples -- Ireland Prehistoric peoples -- Europe, Western Antiquities International relations Prehistoric peoples SUBJECT Great Britain -- Relations -- Europe, Western Ireland -- Relations -- Europe, Western Europe, Western -- Relations -- Great Britain Europe, Western -- Relations -- Ireland Great Britain -- Antiquities. http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85056606 Ireland -- Antiquities. http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85067965 Europe, Western -- Antiquities Subject Great Britain Ireland Western Europe Form Electronic book Author Anderson-Whymark, Hugo Garrow, Duncan Sturt, Fraser LC no. 2015011017 ISBN 9781782978107 1782978100 9781782978114 1782978119 9781782978121 1782978127
