South-east England is largely devoid of impressive Neolithic monuments
that characterise many other areas and has therefore not been accorded
the same attention or significance. However, research carried out in the
south-east, much of it developer-funded, has revealed new discoveries
and some surprise findings as this volume demonstrates. The twenty-one
contributions reflect some of the recent work arried out in the area
and, as well as looking at evidence from particular sites, the authors
present overviews on a range of subjects including aerial survey, soils,
the study of human remains, landscapes and environments. As Richard
Bradley states in the Foreword, such evidence challenges the accounts of
British prehistory created from data in other areas. Contributors
