520 1 $a"Written in an accessible style and extensively illustrated in colour, this book is the story of an area of landscape in the English Midlands from earliest prehistory to around AD 900. Although it looks like a typical rural landscape, archaeological research, much of it in advance of quarrying, has revealed that this area has a long and remarkable history of occupation stretching back to the Ice Age. In particular, at Catholme the project has revealed spectacular monuments from the Neolithic and Bronze Age (including a 'woodhenge-type' monument, a 'sunburst' monument, and a cursus) that represent a regional expression of the monumental traditions of the age of Stonehenge. The project has brought together all the previous research for the area to create a full history for this important landscape, which remains under threat from quarrying. The book also looks at the various archaeological techniques used to explore the landscape, from the usual aerial photography, geophysical prospection and excavation, to more recent techniques such as UDAR and the potential of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) to manipulate and present the data." "This book examines the archaeology of a little-known area of the English Midlands, presenting ground-breaking research into prehistory, which will be of interest to archaeologists, students and local people. The book will also appeal to anyone with an interest in the wider landscape of the Midlands, from the Ice Age to the Viking Age."--Jacket.
