Excerpt from Prehistoric Scotland: And Its Place in European Civilization; Being a General Introduction to the "County Histories of Scotland" The primary object of this book is to lay before the public a short account of the methods and means by which archæologists are endeavouring to elucidate that obscure period in the history of Scotland vaguely defined as the prehistoric. From the very beginning I foresaw that this would be a labour of some difficulty, owing to the varied and comprehensive materials which had to be dealt with. A preliminary coup-d'œil of the subject disclosed a population occupying a small, but well-defined, geographical area amidst diversified surroundings. As soon, however, as the superficial crust was broken, it became apparent that both people and environments were subject to progressive changes not always emanating from causes inherent to the restricted locality under review. I had thus to look beyond the Scottish area, and to trace these exotic elements to their proper sources. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Based on lectures given at the Conference of the British Summer School of Archaeology at Edinburgh in 1954, this book, published in 1962, surveys the general field of pre-historic Scotland, five archaeologists each contributing chapters discussing the main aspects and problems that have presented themselves in specialised research areas. From the first peopling of the area by human communities with hunting and food-gathering economies, to field antiquities and the introduction of copper and bronze metallurgy and on to the first settlement by Celtic speakers and the links to the first historically documented Scotland. Contributors: R.J.C. Atkinson, G.E. Daniel, T.G.E. Powell and C.A.R. Radford.

There is a great deal of archaeological evidence about the human society of this period, but rather than merely listing this, the author weaves together information from excavations, surveys and studies into past climate and environment, creating a picture of the lives, beliefs, customs and achievements of those early inhabitants of Scotland. Designed throughout with colourful and detailed illustrations, Settlement and Sacrifice clearly describes the dramatic changes of the last thousand years BC. It contains in-depth discussions about distinctive features of the archaeological record and emphasizes that the lives recorded by these remains were those of ordinary people living in and changing the landscape around them. Included in the book are specially commissioned illustrations which show how these people may have lived, as well as a list of the later Bronze and Iron Age sites which can be seen around Scotland. This book is part of a newly updated edition of the acclaimed Making of Scotland series produced by Historic Scotland and Birlinn which provides lively, accessible and up-to-date introductions to key themes and periods in Scottish history and prehistory.
