{"product_id":"settlement-in-the-irish-neolithic-jessica-smyth-9781789258820","title":"Settlement in the Irish Neolithic: New Discoveries at the Edge of Europe","description":"The Irish Neolithic has been dominated by the study of megalithic tombs, but the defining element of Irish settlement evidence is the rectangular timber Early Neolithic house, the numbers of which have more than quadrupled in the last ten years. The substantial Early Neolithic timber house was a short-lived architectural phenomenon of as little as 90 years, perhaps like short-lived Early Neolithic long barrows and causewayed enclosures. This book explores the wealth of evidence for settlement and houses throughout the Irish Neolithic, in relation to Britain and continental Europe. More importantly it incorporates the wealth of new, and often unpublished, evidence from developer-led archaeological excavations and large grey-literature resources.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe settlement evidence scattered across the landscape, and found as a result of developer-funded work, provides the social context for the more famous stone monuments that have traditionally shaped our views of the Neolithic in Ireland. It provides the first comprehensive review of the Neolithic settlement of Ireland, which enables a more holistic and meaningful understanding of the Irish Neolithic.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jessica Smyth\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1789258820\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781789258820\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oxbow Books Limited\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/19\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 208\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"Jessica Smyth","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44073264939263,"sku":"9781789258820","price":39.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_cf0759e0-29d5-40fe-bf75-6c12c4acc7bb.jpg?v=1685446802","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/settlement-in-the-irish-neolithic-jessica-smyth-9781789258820","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
