Abstract:
"This definitive volume provides an overview of the development of lake village studies, explores the impact of a range of scientific techniques on the settlements and considers how the public can relate to this evocative and exciting branch of archaeology. It explains how the multidisciplinary research context has significantly improved our knowledge of prehistoric wetland communities, from an environment as well as a cultural perspective." "Living on the Lake in Prehistoric Europe brings together the most prominent scholars in the field to create an authoritative survey of the past, present and future of lake village studies."--BOOK JACKET.
