Avebury Landscape
«This is a rich volume whose collective results demonstrate the virtues of a multi-period, interdisciplinary approach to reconstructing the history of the landscape and of specific monuments within it. That it has the potential to reveal new insights about Avebury, one of the most intensively studied prehistoric landscapes in Britain, is a testament to its efficacy and to the collective vision of the authors who collaborated on it.»
Landscape History
It is over one hundred years since the publication of the wide ranging archaeological field investigation undertaken on the Marlborough Downs by the Rev A C Smith. His work Guide to the British and Roman Antiquities of the North Wiltshire Downs in a Hundred Square Miles round Abury was originally published in two volumes in 1884 by the Marlborough College Natural History Society, then reprinted and bound into a single volume and published in 1885 by the Wiltshire Archaeological and Natural History Society after half the original print run was destroyed in a fire.
