Landscapes in Transition; Historical Ecology and the Mesolithic of Jura by Andy B on Sunday, 09 March 2014
(User Info | Send a Message)
Landscapes in Transition; Historical Ecology and the Mesolithic of Jura by by Claire Marshall
A research study in recovering diversity in Lithics and Landscapes, Isle of Jura, Argyll, Scotland.

The research presented here addresses a number of issues wth the current methodologies used to deal with Mesolithic diversity. A critique is presented of the published works relating to the Mesolithic archaeology of the Isle of Jura, Argyll and is made with reference to a call for new ways of thinking about theorising landscapes.

Focuses particularly on Lealt Bay and Lussa Bay
