Meet the Author: Alasdair Whittle is a Research Professor in Archaeology at Cardiff University, and well known for his work on the Neolithic of the Avebury area in southern Britain. His new book, THE ARCHAEOLOGY OF PEOPLE: DIMENSIONS OF NEOLITHIC LIFE, has just been published by Routledge, so Oxbow decided to write to him and ask a few questions about it.

For example: what's wrong with the term 'Neolithic', and why does he like the word "messiness" so much? These were his answers. (archive link) With thanks to Oxbow Books.

Also, seriously out of our time period, but if like me you're fascinated by obscure bumps in the British landscape, you may be interested in Archaeology and the Cold War.

In the period between the end of WWII and the fall of the Berlin Wall, the British government was obsessed with the threat of atomic weapons and tried to confront the unthinkable with a variety of imaginative structures. THE COLD WAR: BUILDING FOR NUCLEAR CONFRONTATION is a new book from English Heritage, which investigates the secret world constructed behind barbed-wire fences and deep beneath our cities.
