The Cumbrian axe-makers (2013) The later Prehistory of the Lake District (2013) A Cumbrian perspective on the Neolithic and Bronze Age of the Lake District, with a focus on stone tools (production, distribution and raw materials), megalithic monuments and rock carvings.
Nouveau Neolithic: prehistoric gastronomy (2013)
Recipes from Later prehistory presented in a post-modern Nouveau-fusion style based on archaeological evidence from Britain and Ireland. Building upon the paper of the same name presented at the Food and Drink Conference at the University of Exeter in 2010. Proving that prehistoric food does not need to consist of grey-looking stews or have been roast in a pit(!) - it can look and taste wonderful. The Neolithic and Bronze Age ground stone tools of Britain and Ireland (2013) Examines ground stone tools from experimental and theoretical perspectives. Raw materials, procurement, manufacturing techniques, lithic production systems, the Neolithic techno-complex, tool utility, technical and social performance characteristics are all given special consideration. Later chapters deal with social complexity and the possible meaning and use of ground stone tools. |
