ORCADIA: LAND SEA AND STONE (HB)

A lyrical account of the prehistory and archaeology of Orkney, combining archaeological, historical and topographic writing with stunning colour and black & white photographs. Following a broadly chronological narrative, and highlighting different lines of evidence as they unfold, Mark Edmonds traces the development of the Orcadian Neolithic from its beginnings in the early 4th millennium through to the end of the period nearly two thousand years later. Combining accessible text and high-quality images, he uses artefacts, architecture and the wider landscape to recreate the lives of Neolithic communities across the region.
