Overview

"This second volume of seminar papers from the Neolithic Studies Group consists of thirteen papers from the 1994 seminar entitled ""Domestic Settlement and Landscape"". The contributors focus on the question of how ordinary domestic communities perceived and engaged with the landscape beyond their settlements, and how wider conceptions of topography, land-use and landscape might be reflected in the form and layout of settlements themselves."
