Jonathan Eaton has provided the essential volume for all students of Archaeology, Classical Civilizations and Ancient History by condensing the entire archaeological history of Britain into one accessible volume.
The Archaeological History of Britain takes us from the earliest prehistoric archaeology right up to the contemporary archaeology of the present day through the use of key sites to illustrate each key time period as well as a narrative of change to accompany the changing archaeological record. The wide range of evidence utilized by archaeologists, such as artifacts, landscape studies, historical sources and genetics are emphasized throughout this chronological journey as are the latest theoretical advances and practical discoveries, making this the most advanced narrative of British archaeology available. AUTHOR: Jonathan holds a PhD in Ancient History from Queen’s University, Belfast where he has also been employed as a tutor in the School of History and Anthropology. Jonathan currently holds the position of lecturer in Classics and Archaeology at Newcastle College. Jonathan is a regular book reviewer for Military History Monthly as well as being published in the journal Greece and Rome.
