Mesolithic Britain and Ireland : new approaches

The general perception of the Mesolithic in Britain and Ireland is of a theoretical backwater, devoid of the vibrant, engaging narratives that have transformed other branches of prehistoric archaeology over the last twenty years.

However new approaches, producing a distinctive 'Mesolithic' archaeology, are beginning to supersede the traditional accounts.

This volume, aimed at a broader archaeological readership, introduces this new generation of researchers and offers an urgently needed teaching resource for students who want a deeper understanding of the period.
