Abstract:
The first four chapters of this critical review of current models of prehistoric settlement examine a number of basic economic practices such as land clearance, soil use, arable and pastoral farming, transhumance and nomadism, hunting (with particular attention to Meso-Neo differences) and gathering of foodstuffs. The ambiguities in the evidence are clearly brought out and attempts made to reconcile or explain them; for instance, population fluctuations are to be suggested by the evidence rather than imposed upon it and the real effects and date of postulated climatic change are examined. Special attention is paid to caves, cooking places, and the exploitation of coastal resources of all kinds. Differences between Britain and Ireland are considered and the exact nature of 'highland/lowland' variations explored. A major replanning of land at the beginning of the first millennium BC and the precise role of hillforts are among the themes discussed.
