Settling waterscapes in Europe: The archaeology of Neolithic and Bronze Age pile-dwellings
Pile dwellings have been explored all over Europe for decades now. This has led to the development of different methods and even schools of excavations and analysis techniques influenced by the research traditions in individual countries. This volume provides a current insight into international research on life in and around prehistoric waterscapes. It contains various case studies demonstrating the importance of scientific analysis for the study of settlement between land and water and on the anthropogenic influence on the landscapes around Neolithic and Bronze Age pile dwellings, presenting a new body of data and international perspectives on the settlement of European waterscapes.
