Release Date: 2023-02-23
The Great Orme copper mine in North Wales is one of the largest surviving Bronze Age mines in Europe. This book presents new interdisciplinary research to reveal a copper mine of European importance, dominating Britain’s copper supply from c. 1600-1400 BC, with some metal reaching mainland Europe - from Brittany to as far as the Baltic.
Mining and Quarrying in Neolithic Europe
The social processes involved in acquiring flint and stone in the Neolithic began to be considered over thirty years ago, promoting a more dynamic view of past extraction processes. Whether by quarrying, mining or surface retrieval, the geographic source locations of raw materials and their resultant archaeological sites have been approached from different methodological and theoretical perspectives. In recent years this has included the exploration of previously undiscovered sites, refined radiocarbon dating, comparative ethnographic analysis and novel analytical approaches to stone tool manufacture and provenancing. The aim of this volume in the Neolithic Studies Group Papers is to explore these new findings on extraction sites and their products. How did the acquisition of raw materials fit into other aspects of Neolithic life and social networks? How did these activities merge in creating material items that underpinned cosmology, status and identity? What are the geographic similarities, constraints and variables between the various raw materials, and how does the practise of stone extraction in the UK relate to wider extractive traditions in northwestern Europe? Eight papers address these questions and act as a useful overview of the current state of research on the topic.
Periar Council of Prime
A Young Man With No Memory - Hunted By Powerful Spell Weavers - In The Midst Of Nations On The Brink Of War Set in the post-nuclear war future in a country called Prime, a boy wakes up in a town with no memory of who he is. The town has recently been taken over by the army of an opposing country, and he is somehow known to them. He barely manages to escape with his life, and sets out on a perilous journey where he tries to regain his memory and discover what has happened to him. Moncrieff, a senior council member on the governing Periar Council, realises that the boy is in danger. Moncrieff has an unexplained connection to the boy and is trying to reach him before the rest of the Periar Council discover his existence. If the Council learnt of what was going on, it would surely mean death for both Moncrieff and the boy.
