‘The Domestication of Britain’- Dating the Early Neolithic (4000 – 3500BC) in Britain

In the July August 2011 edition of British Archaeology magazine, there is an exciting article on research that is helping to shed light on new perspectives of the early neolithic in Britain.

The article, by Alasdair Whittle, Frances Healy & Alex Bayliss, details how the team have commissioned new radiocarbon dates from various monuments of the early neolithic in Britain. This has helped to produce a detailed and clearer chronology of how farming and new associated technologies & monuments (in this case causewayed enclosures) first spread throughout these isles.

For the first time in British archaeology the results have shown in depth how prehistoric events can be discerned at the generational level in the archaeological record.
