External Links: The Neolithic period was the time when people in Britain began to rely on domesticated animals and crops and live a less mobile lifestyle than the hunter-gatherers of earlier times. Until recently this was seen as a rather idyllic period peopled by egalitarian farmers living in peaceful co-operation. This lecture presents recent research on human remains, artefacts and settlements which paints a rather more disturbing picture. Speaker: Dr Martin Smith
Sticks and Stones: Violence and Conflict in Prehistoric Britain
Wednesday 16 January, 7.30pm–9pm, 7.30 - 9pm
Speaker: Dr Martin Smith
The Neolithic period (c.4000 -2000 BC) was the time when people in Britain first began to rely on domesticated animals and crops and live a less mobile lifestyle than the hunter-gatherers of earlier times. Until recently this was seen as a rather idyllic period peopled by egalitarian farmers living in peaceful co-operation. This lecture presents recent research on human remains, artefacts and settlements which paints a rather more disturbing picture where it would appear that violence and conflict between groups and individuals may have been as much a part of life as in later periods.
Venue: Pugsley Lecture Theatre, Queen's Building, University Walk, Bristol
