Departing from traditional divisions between the Stone, Bronze, and Iron Ages, an expert in antiquities and archeology brings the prehistory of Britain and Ireland to life in a fresh, accessible way. In addition to descriptions of the people's physical characteristics, and their fashions in clothing, ornaments, weapons, and crafts, an encyclopedic range of topics covers population levels, social and political organization, and everything from farming techniques to disease.--From publisher description.
