Synopsis
An invigorating journey through Britain's prehistoric landscape, and an insight into the lives of its inhabitants.
From the critically acclaimed author of The Fens, a Radio 4 Book of the Week.
In Scenes from Prehistoric Life, the distinguished archaeologist Francis Pryor paints a vivid picture of Britain's prehistory, from the Old Stone Age (about one million years ago) to the arrival of the Romans in AD 43, in a sequence of fifteen chronologically arranged portraits of specific ancient British landscapes.
Whether writing about the early human family who trod the estuarine muds of Happisburgh in Norfolk circa 900,000 BC or the Iron Age denizens of Britain's first towns, Pryor brings the ancient past to life: revealing the daily routines of our ancient ancestors, and how they coped with both simple practical problems and more existential challenges. Pryor also demonstrates the impact this rapid cultural evolution had on the landscape. We travel across four millennia, from a Britain dominated by forests, moors, heaths and open floodplains to a landscape recognisable to many people living today: one demarcated by roads, fields, farms and villages.
At a time when the relationship between lifestyle and landscape is more fraught than ever before, it is crucial to look to the past to inform our present, and to help us to cope with the challenges of the future.

Hardcover. Etat : Near Fine. Etat de la jaquette : Near Fine. Jacket and illustrations by Andy Lovell. Maps by Jeff Edwards (illustrateur). 1st Edition. First edition, subsequent impression with number line '9 7 5 3 2 4 6 8'. Some edge wear and a couple of tiny closed tears to top and bottom of jacket and spine, corners slightly rubbed and bruised, very slight lean, not price clipped (£25.00), no inscriptions, internally clean tight and square, overall a vg+ copy. 338, illustrated. In 'Scenes from Prehistoric Life', the distinguished archaeologist Francis Pryor paints a vivid picture of British and Irish prehistory, from the Old Stone Age (about one million years ago) to the second arrival of the Romans in AD 43, in a sequence of fifteen profiles of ancient landscapes. Whether writing about the early human family who trod the estuarine muds of Happisburgh in Norfolk c.900,000 BC, the craftsmen who built a wooden trackway in the Somerset Levels early in the fourth millennium BC, or the Iron Age denizens of Britain's first towns, Pryor uses excavations and surveys to uncover the daily routines of our ancient ancestors. By revealing how our prehistoric forebears coped with both simple practical problems and more existential challenges, Francis Pryor offers remarkable insights into the long and unrecorded centuries of our early history, and a convincing, well attested and movingly human portrait of prehistoric life as it was really lived. Quite a scarce book. N° de réf. du vendeur 011623
