It reports the fieldwork study of 60 Wessex long barrows of central-southern England as observed in a landscape context using a multi-disciplinary approach involving orientations and alignments to sunrises and moonrises. As a consequence, the core meanings of many Neolithic long barrows become meaningful at a cultural level because of the characteristic groupings thus disclosed. The study helped to establish that Neolithic Britons were using a practical eight-period, agricultural calendar in the most general sense, with intervals between special dates amounting to 45-46 days. The manner in which long barrows are configured in the landscapes of the Avebury area and the Wylye\/Salisbury Plain area hints at a family-farming clan-patterning based on agropastoral land-units.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Terence Meaden\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1835636985\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781835636985\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e New Generation Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/29\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 120\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.89lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.00h x 8.50w x 0.31d","brand":"Terence Meaden","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48241907597567,"sku":"9781835636985","price":32.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_840f4221-f182-4b48-96f3-40aa1fc27daf.jpg?v=1772656512","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-sixty-neolithic-long-barrows-terence-meaden-9781835636985","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
