Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
The Bronze Age barrows and cairns of the south west peninsula form one of the largest concentrations of prehistoric monuments in Britain. However, perhaps due to the lack of rich grave assemblages, their character has often been overlooked. More recently, there has been renewed interest in regional approaches to archaeology. Modern excavation and the re-examination of archived materials has resulted in new information and made new interpretation possible. The paper considers the origin and development of monuments and the complexes in which they are found. Artefactual and radiocarbon dating is used to propose a chronology for the changing character of barrow use in the region during the second millennium cal. BC. Finally, the evidence for a broader south west identity is assessed and interpretation is put forward to explain the similarities and contrasts between the region’s barrow complexes | |||
