Landscape in the Longue DureE

A History and Theory of Pebbles in a Peddled Heathland Landscape. 'Landscape in the Longue Duree' is a 4000 year history of pebbles from the Bronze Age to the 21st century. Based on the results of a four-year archaeological excavation of a unique landscape in the UK consisting entirely of pebbles, the book argues that pebbles are like no other kind of stone - they occupy an especial place both in the prehistoric past and in our contemporary culture.
