Description
The archaeology of Northumberland is much more diverse than just Hadrian’s Wall and a few medieval castles. This, one of the largest counties of England, can boast a long and eventful history of prehistoric occupation beginning around 15,000 BC. `This book is dedicated to sharing what is known about the early inhabitants of the region; their way of life, their homes and monuments, and their relationship with the land.’ Beginning with a discussion of the environment of the region, the authors then present a well-illustrated tour through the prehistoric period, from the Palaeolithic to the Iron Age. An excellent introduction to the region and its major archaeological sites.
