Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
The authors explain why they believe that the seven papers published in the special supplement of the Cambridge Archaeological Journal have more than regional or period significance. The case studies presented in the supplement are all of Early Neolithic long barrows and long cairns of the fourth millennium cal BC in southern England. They offer two reasons why a study of the dating of constructions that held the remains of selected human dead, from a particular region of northwest Europe, at a particular point in the regional Neolithic sequence, have wider importance. Firstly, they are applying to a group of monuments rather than to individual sites, a method for the interpretation of radiocarbon dates which enables much more precise estimates of chronology. Secondly, it is argued that from this promise of more robust and precise dating come implications for the kinds of agents that archaeologists may wish to people their pasts, for the kinds of lives they lived, and for the histories that can be written about them. | ||||
