Uncover Britain’s deep past through a detailed look at Dog Holes, Warton Crag. This volume presents the ground-breaking findings from explorations that span the Neolithic and Romano-British periods. Rich in artifacts and human and animal remains, it sheds light on cave life, burial practices, and the variety of early cultures that once inhabited the uplands of Lancashire.
Readers will encounter careful analysis of skulls, jaws, and limb bones, along with pottery, weaving tools, and copper-age objects. The report discusses the mix of Iberian and Celtic traits among Neolithic remains, the presence of a dwarf skeleton, and how these discoveries fit into broader British prehistory. It also documents animal remains, from cattle to wolves, and the way these bones were treated after death.
Ideal for readers of archaeology, British prehistory, and museum-era excavation reports seeking grounded, field-based insight into early cave life.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book details the results of several archaeological expeditions conducted at Dog Holes, a celebrated cave in Lancashire. The dig site has yielded remains from multiple distinct periods, which this book seeks to piece together. The author focuses on evidence from the Neolithic era and the Romano-British period, and even potentially from the Pleistocene epoch. The book begins with an overview of the cave's history and the background of the expeditions. It then delves into the findings, such as pottery, tools, animal bones and human remains, meticulously categorizing and analyzing each discovery. Through these findings, the author paints a rich picture of the people who inhabited the cave and the surrounding area thousands of years ago, their way of life, and the environment they lived in.
