In order to achieve this we have abandoned outmoded typological classifications and re-introduced the term ‘dolmen’ to embrace a range of sites that share a common form of megalithic architecture: the elevation and display of a substantial stone. By critically assessing the traditionally assigned role of these monuments and their architecture as megalithic tombs, the presence of the dead is reassessed and argued to form part of a process generating vibrancy to the materiality of the dolmen. As such this book argues that the megalithic architecture identified as a dolmen is not a chambered tomb at all but instead is a qualitatively different form of monument. We also provide an entirely different conception of the utility of this extraordinary megalithic architecture – one that seeks to emphasise its building as articulating discourses of wonder as a broad social strategy. In this respect it is important to remember that many of these monuments were erected very early in the Neolithic and as a consequence of new people entering new lands, or social transformation. In short, dolmens are monumental constructions employing experimental and emergent technologies to raise huge stones, which, once built, enchant those who come within their spaces. Our claim is that dolmens were megalithic installations of affect, magical and extraordinary in construction and strategically positioned to induce both drama and awe in their encounter.","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56308898890101,"sku":"9781911188438","price":39.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781911188438_2560f0b1-a3e3-4e41-b252-49aaa9e4f846.jpg?v=1786029089"},{"product_id":"9789088907050","title":"Stonehenge for the Ancestors","description":"For many centuries, scholars and enthusiasts have been fascinated by Stonehenge, the world’s most famous stone circle. In 2003 a team of archaeologists commenced a long-term fieldwork project for the first time in decades. The Stonehenge Riverside Project (2003-2009) aimed to investigate the purpose of this unique prehistoric monument by considering it within its wider archaeological context.This is the second of four volumes which present the results of that campaign. It includes studies of the lithics from excavations, both from topsoil sampling and from excavated features, as well as of the petrography of the famous bluestones, as identified from chippings recovered during excavations. Other specialist syntheses are those of the land mollusca. The volume provides an overview of Stonehenge in its landscape over millennia from before the monument was built to the last of its five constructional stages. It concludes with a chapter placing Stonehenge in its full context within Britain and western Europe during the third millennium BC.With contributions by:Umberto Albarella, Michael Allen, Richard Bevins, Benjamin Chan, Robert Ixer, Claudia Minniti, Doug Mitcham and Sarah Viner-Daniels","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56311336075637,"sku":"9789088907050","price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9789088907050_64d81227-b599-449c-bfe2-d803b575f0e8.jpg?v=1786032044"},{"product_id":"animating-the-dead","title":"Animating the Dead","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis book provides the exciting results of a long-term project examining Bronze Age round barrow construction and burial practices in Orkney, Scotland.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA main focus of this research is on the act of cremation; a technology of bodily metamorphosis as articulated through complex mortuary practices, which produced a distinctive form of funerary architecture.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis, and other topical themes, are explored through the results of extensive excavations at several barrow cemeteries including Linga Fiold, Gitterpitten, Varme Dale, Vestrafiold and the Knowes of Trotty, the latter being famous for rich grave goods including gold discs and amber beads. In this context, in being built on the ruins of an early Neolithic settlement, Knowes of Trotty provides an intersection of relational fields, fusing local tradition with faraway places.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt Linga Fiold, the barrow cemetery was almost entirely excavated, and by employing sophisticated recovery techniques and analyses, unique evidence is presented for a complex sequence of barrow building and mortuary practices.

Additionally, several cist excavations are published here for the first time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis evidence allows an appraisal of the developing cist burial tradition in Orkney through the Chalcolithic and Bronze Age, from the insertion of remains into chambered tombs and large re-enterable unobtrusive cists, to the development of imposing linear barrow cemeteries, to the drawing in of the dead closer to home.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOverall, the new findings presented here allow a reconsideration of the chronology and specifics of changing Orcadian burial technologies and traditions: clearly, such results have significance beyond Orkney for understanding the complexities of Bronze Age cremation and burial practices across Britain and north-west Europe.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57495325901173,"sku":"9798888571439","price":40.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9798888571439.jpg?v=1786618010"},{"product_id":"keeping-books-and-accounts-for-small-to-medium-size-business-revised-edition-2027","title":"Keeping Books And Accounts For Small To Medium Size Business Revised Edition 2027","description":null,"brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57695281217909,"sku":"9781802365597","price":10.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781802365597.jpg?v=1793032813"}],"url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/collections\/author-colin-richards.oembed","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
