This study of the Late Neolithic and Bronze Age in Inner Sogn, western Norway, is based on material from an area on the periphery of southern Scandinavia. Though this mountainous region was peripheral and agriculturally marginal, it was not marginal in regard to pastoral and wildlife resources. Prescott explores how this area was exploited, responding to the extensive archaeological material from Ardal as well as to theoretical and methodological approaches in previous studies of Late Neolithic and Bronze Age material. He attempts to analyze aspects of human behaviour, social organization, and land use in this particular period and region.
