An authoritative and radical rethinking of the history of Ancient Britain and Ancient Ireland, based on remarkable new archaeological finds. British history is traditionally regarded as having started with the Roman Conquest. But this is to ignore half a million years of prehistory that still exert a profound influence. Here Francis Pryor examines the great ceremonial landscapes of Ancient Britain and Ireland - Stonehenge, Seahenge, Avebury and the Bend of the Boyne - as well as the discarded artefacts of day-to-day life, to create an astonishing portrait of our ancestors. This major re-revaluation of pre-Roman Britain, made possible in part by aerial photography and coastal erosion, reveals a much more sophisticated life in Ancient Britain and Ireland than has previously been supposed.

I have been interested for quite some time about the development of American culture, and knew that I would have to research a great deal into British history as part of that journey. Starting at the beginning seemed like the best place to better understand how our townships, farmsteads, and hierarchies came about. Having followed Francis Pryor's lectures, I was excited about reading Britain BC. I was not disappointed. Pryor, yet again, has impressed me with his insights into the development of British culture through the rich archaeological remains that cover the British Isles. Not only does he look at the physical remains, but Pryor examines environment, landscape, resources, migratory patterns, and scientific analysis to paint a better and more thorough picture of how people lived, worked, survived, and grew into larger communities during "British Prehistory."
