Scotland's mesolithic past is varied and complex, yet its stories are
rarely told. This book seeks to redress some of this loss. Introducing a
rich variety of evidence, from pollen analysis through to deliberate
deposition of human bones, Graeme Warren's account focuses on
understandings of landscape, skilled practices such as seafaring, scales
of community, and the routines that constituted the fundamental rhythms
of life. Other discussions include environmental and landscape change,
appropriate scales and methods of analysis, and interpreting mesolithic
stone tool manufacture.
