Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
Once they had been built, how did monuments work? This lecture considers the ways in which the creation and operation of large monuments affect human perception. Monuments are the outward embodiment of some of the most basic beliefs in society, and they tend to mould the experience of those who use them. They constrain the movements of the people who visit them, and provide a kind of stage setting for the performance of ritual and ceremonial. In this sense they can play an active role in the process of social change. The argument is illustrated using the evidence of a variety of stone and earthwork alignments from the West Mediterranean to the British Isles. The manner in which the distinctions between monuments and the wider landscape were emphasised by decorative styles and by deposits of artefacts is also considered. | ||
