An Ethnography of the Neolithic

An Ethnography of the Neolithic provides a provocative and novel reconstruction of society in Scandinavia over a period of 3000 years. Christopher Tilley integrates a wide range of evidence from prehistoric landscapes to the symbolic significance of axes and pots to recreate in an accessible way the lives of the final hunter-gatherer-fishers and first farmers in Sweden and Denmark. His skillful fusion of archaeological evidence and new anthropological approaches makes this book an original contribution to a widely debated topic.
