Is There a British Chalcolithic? People, Place and Polity in the later Third Millennium
Edited by Julie Gardiner and Alison Sheridan 20 papers address whether British prehistory featured a Chalcolithic period. The Chalcolithic, the phase in prehistory when the important technical development of adding tin to copper to produce bronze had not yet taken place, is not a term generally used by British prehistorians and whether there is even a definable phase is debated. This book brings together many leading authorities in 20 papers to address this question. The volume contains much detailed information on sites and artefacts, and comprehensive radiocarbon datasets that will be invaluable to scholars and students studying this enigmatic but pivotal episode of British Prehistory.
