in secondary addition that finishes the western extremity and that
contains a number of carvings among the most famous of the European
corpus. Ten steles will be here described and illustrated by photography
and drawings whose realization will have demanded more 600 hours
of work, undertaken on the terrain as well as in laboratory. Several
signs are inescapable and validate by their discovery the simple
method of acquisition and numerical image processing that we have
developed these last years. The majority of carvings is equally better
specified and allowed henceforth a re-interpretation of associations
of signs united on a same support, but equally a simultaneous perusal
of these steles understood as monuments fully fledged, functioning
originally in a whole other special and historical context. The back
stele, often considered as the master piece of the mortuary structure,
and residing nevertheless one armorican engraving among the most
badly interpreted and one of the most cryptic, appears as a representation
in fact particularly succeeded of a spermwhale, staggering cetacean
that our anterior studies had already sensed.},

@techreport{Clough1979,
abstract = {Papers from a conference in 1977 demonstrate the progress made in
petrological studies in particular, but also discuss the uses of
ethnography evidence in understanding axe distributions. The history
of implement petrology in Britain is outlined by W F Grimes (pp 1-4)
from its formal beginnings in 1952. W A Cummins (5-12), in discussing
distribution studies of the eight most abundant stone axe groups,
pays special attention to the unusual patterns of Groups I and VI
which appear to indicate a two-stage distribution process. Radiocarbon
dates form the basis of I F Smith's chronology (13-22) of British
implements of Neo-BA; for shafthole implements there is some additional
help from typology. Further development of the typological theme
comes from F E S Roe (23-48) on shafthole implements (battle axes,
mace heads, etc) particularly as the increasing availability of petrological
identifications lends improved confidence.
From the Continent, C-T Le Roux (49-56) presents new data for some
of the Breton petrological groups, and discusses them in terms of
social organization and axe production. Linear Pottery sites in the
Netherlands have yielded adzes of various rock types from Central
Europe, the Siebengebirge and Eifel, as discussed by C C Bakels and
C E S Arps (57-64). In Britain again, T G Manby (65-81) presents
a typological and distributional study of Yorkshire flint and stone
axes, of which 700 have been sectioned; he also discusses the ?seasonal
(?transhumance) movements which might have brought Lake District
axes to Yorkshire, and considers the problem of modern axe 'forgeries'.
The flint and stone axes of the E Midlands are C N Moore's topic
(82-6), while a field survey made on the Langdale and Scafell Pike
axe factory sites in 1961 is described by C H Houlder (87-9).
The fine jade and jadeite implements of western Europe are studied
by A R Woolley et al (90-6); their typology in terms of length, width
and thickness ratios is worked out and related to the constituent
pyroxenes as determined by electron microprobe analysis. Axe technology
is discussed by G R Coope (98-101) who points out that while some
rocks could be flaked and leave characteristic debris of axe-making,
others had to be pecked into shape, leaving only dust residues. Experimental
work on hafting and using stone axes is reported by A Harding \& R
Young (102-5), this is a long-tem forest clearance project. John
Coles is also experimenting with stone axes for making wicker hurdles
as found in the Somerset Levels (106-7).
Finally there are two ethnographic contributions: Pat Phillips (108-12)
examines evidence from recent contexts of production, acquisition
and consumption of stone axes in New Guinea, while prehistoric Australian
stone exploitation and exchange systems are the topic of Isabel McBryde
(113-26, with petrology by A Watchman).},

The author compares these practices to other contemporary types of

abstract = {New discoveries have shown aggression and violence to be important
features of Neolithic cultural development. This dissertation presents
an analysis of traces of manipulation due to violence visible on
skull material (trepanations and traumata) from the German Neolithic.
Special attention was given to Northern Germany (Mecklenburg-Vorpommern,
Schleswig-Holstein, Lower Saxony and Brandendenburg). Altogether
320 skulls from this area were analysed, 28 of which showed traces
of manipulation. Additionally, cases from the rest of Germany were
collected from literature; so altogether 178 individuals with traces
of manipulations can be discussed. 132 cases of traumata and 53 cases
of trepanations are analysed. The connection between traumata and
trepanations is discussed; many surgical interventions on skulls
may in fact represent treatment of head wounds.
Additionally, Neolithic settlement structures, weapons and tools of
the time, ritual acts and social structures were checked for signs
of aggression and violence. Altogether aggression and violence are
to be regarded as regular features of Neolithic life, with differing
amounts among various cultural groups.},

abstract = {This article suggests that the rare motif on Breton menhirs often
interpreted as an axe (of ‘Mané Rutual’ type) or an axe-plough, could
be the representation of a whale, and that if so, this might be a
mythic creature. The character of myth and narrative is considered.
It is mooted that Late Mesolithic people or their immediate descendants
could have been responsible for the erection of such menhirs. The
juxtaposition of the suggested whale motif with versions of animals
with curved horns on the broken menhir of La Table des Marchand and
Gavrinis raises the possibility of alternative or competing myths
and creation stories. Other representations of natural creatures
in the Mesolithic and Neolithic in Europe are briefly noted, and
the possible importance of myth in the Mesolithic–Neolithic transition
of northwest Europe is discussed.},

abstract = {The notion of identity has sometimes been implicitly likened to methodology of classification, which applies to prehistorian’s work in order to better position the subject of his research in time and space. Concerning megalithism in Western France, a model of unilinear development has now prevailed for about fifteen years, drawing a parallel between the classification of architectures and what appeared to be new suggestions concerning the periodisation of material culture. This model struggles in accounting for the entire diversity of the observed facts. Therefore, one has to accept the idea of multiplicity of identities or of multifaceted identities, sometimes coexisting within the same place. A technological approach assumes that all material implementation realized by men – beyond functional constraints and specificities – bears a part of innate identity resulting from the manner in which the operational sequences, whether simple or complex, are set up. At the same time, all these implementations materialise a conceptual standard to which expressed identity values are often attributed. Amongst the numerous conceptual standards whose entire diversity we only just start to perceive in the megalithism of Western France, a very elongated trapeze-shaped plan lined by two lateral quarries is valorised. According to a general proposal hardly new in itself, this standard is not without recalling the plan of the Danubian house .},

abstract = {This volume describes the results of the Longstones Project , a joint-universities programme of excavation and survey designed to develop a fuller understanding of the context and dynamics of monument construction in the later Neolithic (3rd millennium BC) of the Avebury region, Wiltshire. Several elements of this internationally important prehistoric monument complex were investigated: an early-mid 3rd millennium BC enclosure at Beckhampton; the recently re-discovered Beckhampton Avenue and Longstones Cove; a section of the West Kennet Avenue; the Falkner's stone circle; and the Cove within Avebury's Northern Inner Circle. The research sheds new light on the complexities and development of this monument rich area and consideration is given to the questions of how and why ceremonial centres such as that at Avebury came into being in the 3rd millennium BC. The importance of understanding the agency - the affective and perceived inherent qualities - of materials and landscapes is stressed; and the unusual character of the Wessex monument complexes is highlighted by comparison with the format and sequences of other ceremonial centres in southern Britain. The second part of the monograph tracks the later, post-prehistoric, lives of Avebury's megalithic monuments including a detailed account of the early 18th-century records of the Beckhampton Avenue made by the antiquary William Stukeley.},

For the newly discovered Middle Neolithic well of the Funnel Beaker North Group at the domestic site of Oldenburg-Dannau LA77 (North Germany), a deposition of settlement refuse in a former well was documented. Due to depositional processes, the remains provided a detailed palaeo-ecological and archaeological archive for a short time-span around 3050 cal BC. The integration of wells in Middle Neolithic water management strategies, the high value of cereal production – including cereal threshing in the settlement and the documentation of a large number of querns – as well as the early management of “fruit gardens” were reconstructed. Subsequently, the probabilities of profane versus ritual social praxis associated with the depositional process were discussed.},

abstractnote = {In the Seine-Yonne basin at around 4500 B.C. numerous cemeteries appeared, including giant “enclosures” which as a funerary manifestation would have no later equivalent in Europe. These constructions, whether tumuli, palisade enclosures, or mixed systems, sometimes exceed 300 m in length but contain very few burials. Beyond the classic interpretation, which sees high investment in a few individuals as reflecting a hierarchical society, structural analysis of these cemeteries shows the repetition of an elementary module, associated with consistent attributes, evoking hunting and more broadly, the wild. An exercise of association and exclusion brings into play the morphology and arrangements of the monuments, the gender of the inhumed individuals and their attributes. In the male monuments, a central figure is thus distinguished, sometimes with original physical characteristics and accompanied by an enigmatic insignia: a pointed bone instrument with a wide base, trivially called an “Eiffel Tower”. This figure is surrounded by other individuals interpreted as hunters on the basis of the accompanying objects. Other individuals probably served as no  more than passive figurants, rather like foils. In any case, the monumental cemeteries of the 5th millennium correspond to the earliest human groups for which we can identify diverse and repetitive statuses.},

This report gives a full account of the excavation and discusses the archaeological and environmental evidence from the tunnel, the ditch section and the cuttings on the top of the mound, as well as the radiocarbon dates. Neolithic enclosures at nearby West Kennet have been the subject of research excavations since 1987, carried out by Cardiff university. One is a nearly circular double enclosure that straddles the present Kennet, the other is a larger elliptical enclosure. The character of the palisades, their construction, the finds and the radiocarbon dates are fully reported. Very importantly there is an extensive discussion of the interpretation of Silbury Hill and the enclosures and of their relation to each other and to the other features of the Neolithic landscape: the Sanctuary, the West Kennet Avenue and Avebury itself.},

year = {2004},
isbn = {9781842171080},
volume = {16},
abstract = {This volume explores the landscape settings of megalithic chambered monuments in Wales. Set against a broader theoretical discussion on the significance of the landscape, the authors consider the role of visual landscapes in prehistory, meanings attached to the landscape, and the values and beliefs invested in it. Wales is rich in Neolithic monuments, but the general absence of certain classic monumental forms found in the rest of Britain and Ireland, such as causewayed enclosures, henges, and cursus monuments, seems to have marginalized the Welsh record from many wider discussions on the Neolithic. Instead of seeing Wales as an area which lacks many of these 'classic' components, Cummings and Whittle argue that Wales has its own unique and individual Neolithic which is simply different from the Neolithic found further to the east. It is suggested that this difference may relate to an essentially mobile existence, with strong links back to the Mesolithic period. The authors present three detailed case studies, examining the settings of sites in southwest, northwest and southeast Wales. They outline the history of research for each region, including the previous classification of the monuments and any excavations, and describe the specific landscape settings of the monuments. They assess the significance of a variety of landscape features which would have been visible from the monuments, in particular emphasizing the mythological and symbolic significance of the sea, rivers and mountains. An illustrated inventory of sites completes the volume.},

abstract = {This paper assesses the measured axial orientations and siting of Irish passage tombs. The distribution of monuments with passages/entrances directed at related tombs/cairns is shown. Where this phenomenon occurs, the targeted structure is invariably located at a higher elevation on the skyline and this could suggest a symbolic and hierarchical relationship in their relative siting in the landscape. Additional analysis of astronomical declinations at a national scale has identified tombs with an axial alignment towards the rising and setting positions of the Sun at the winter and summer solstices. A criteria-based framework is developed which potentially allows for these types of data to be more meaningfully considered and culturally interpreted within broader archaeological and social anthropological contexts.},

Finds of human bones come from a number of different contexts, such as monumental and earthen graves, mortuary houses, bog finds, causewayed camps, and settlements. Some of these remains may be the product of specific stages in extended mortuary processes, while others probably result from different kinds of practices. The interpretation of megalithic tombs as ossuaries is reviewed critically, and an alternative interpretation, primary burial with subsequent handling of selected bones, is preferred. Recent evidence from eastern Sweden, indicating more complex mortuary practices than usually envisaged for the middle Neolithic in this area, is discussed briefly. This includes the practice of cremation, indications of secondary burial, and the discovery of probable mortuary houses.},

abstract = {European prehistorians have long debated whether Neolithic farmers, especially in temperate central and northern Europe, exploited cleared woodland for short-term ‘slash-and-burn’ crop husbandry or for cultivation of ‘permanent’ gardens/fields. Because empirical evidence was scarce and rather indirect, circumstantial arguments based on the relative costs and benefits of the two rival regimes have hitherto dominated this debate, but more direct archaeobotanical proxies for Neolithic crop husbandry (based on weed ecology and crop isotopes) now favour the predominance of intensively cultivated permanent plots. At the same time, it is argued from ongoing experimental cultivation at Forchtenberg in southern Germany that short-term slash-and-burn husbandry offers much better returns on both land and labour, at least on poor soils marginal for Neolithic cereals. This paper presents oral historical evidence for mid-twentieth century clearance and subsequent long-term cultivation of mixed deciduous woodland in the Pieria region of northern Greece. These data extend the sparse European ethnographic and historical record of manual clearance for crop husbandry to deciduous woodland of the northern Mediterranean, while also providing comparative material against which to evaluate experimental results. Pierian farmers achieved good cereal yields for many years on cleared woodland, with very limited use of fire, demonstrating the viability of a permanent-cultivation regime for early farmers in the north Mediterranean, but suitable land was scarce in Pieria and informants had no experience of the alternative slash-and-burn regime. Conversely, the Forchtenberg experiments have effectively tested only the slash-and-burn regime under soil pH conditions hostile to successful long-term cultivation. Evaluation of these experiments in the light of the Pierian data suggests that long-term cultivation of cleared woodland would have offered Neolithic famers better returns than slash and burn under good or neutral soil conditions. Comparison of the likely returns of the two rival regimes thus offers no grounds for questioning archaeobotanical indications of Neolithic permanent cultivation. The Pierian and Forchtenberg data agree, however, in suggesting that the time elapsed between clearance and reliable grain harvests, under either regime, may have been long enough to pose a significant challenge to the survival of pioneer Neolithic farmers, especially if these were colonists settling beyond ‘commuting’ distance from their previous homes.},
