Description
The Origins of Britain (1980) follows the path of man's occupation of Britain from the scattered pockets of habitation in the earliest Palaeolithic period through to his growing domination of the landscape and his capacity to mould his environment evident in the late Bronze Age. Among the many subjects which the book discusses in detail are the extent of knowledge of astronomy and mathematics in Neolithic and Bronze Age Britain, and the extent to which the pattern of life in the Iron Age was already set by the end of the preceding Bronze Age.
