PREHISTORIC BRITAIN - From the time that man first set foot in Britain to the Roman invasion on AD 43 is a period spanning over a quarter of a million years. These saw the transformation of Britain from being part of the Continental landmass to the islands we know today. This book outlines some of the many changes that took place in society and technology over this period and is lavishly illustrated with material drawn from the British museum collections. Dr. Longworth looks at the increasing degree of sophistication which emerged in Bronze Age society and describes the spectacular level of artistic achievement attained during the ensuing Iron Age. The chalk ‘drums” from Folkton, the gold cup from Rillaton and the magnificent gold torc from Snettisham are but a few of the many impressive objects to survive from Prehistoric Britain.
