I love archaeology and this one struck me as maybe really some kind of breakthrough. Turns out it is one of a trilogy of archaeology digs in the British Isles, mostly in central, southern and southwestern England. The other two are, I think, B.C. and A.D. in the British Isles. You can look them up under the writers name.Starts out great with passion and really exciting writing about this practicing archaeologist from Cambridge University.Trouble is he goes into so much detail and his maps are so difficult to decipher (maybe you need to be an archaeologist), I just ran out of steam about two-thirds the way through and quit just about the time he makes his great "Seahenge" discovery.There are much better writers and unless you are particularly interested in British Isles archaeology, you might think twice before you waste your time and money.
First the negative, minor though it might be. The book is really rather misnamed. If anything, while Seahenge is a captivating title, it is way too limited. While the author discusses the wood circle at Holmes, he does so only briefly in the introduction and over a couple of chapters at the end of the book. What the main body of the volume contains is a very pleasant recitation of a life spent working in Neolithic and Early Bronze age archaeology in England.For those looking for a more thorough description of the work and story of the remains at Holmes, it would probably be better to look to the journals. A visit to the local reference library for a bibliography will probably come up with what you want, and large public and certainly most university libraries will carry many of the journal entries on your list. These are likely to be quite technical, though, so be forewarned. More popular accounts might be available in journals like Archaeology, Archaeology Odyssey, or Scientific American.Next, the positives. And they are major positives. First and foremost, the author has a very nice narrative style. It's readable and friendly, and while laced with some technical terms and ideas, these are usually fully explained without being labored. Furthermore, the author shares his knowledge of his field in practice so the reader has a first person, first hand account of an archaeologist at work. At one point Dr. Pryor quotes from his site diary, letting one in on his personal thoughts and experiences at a crucial point of his work at Seahenge.Probably more than anything, the book offers a glimpse of what it means to be an archaeologist. In particular the reader learns how one goes about acquiring ones credentials, what the management of daily routine on the site is like, under what conditions one works and lives, what job opportunities there are, and how these effect ones personal lifestyle.If one is inclined to follow up the information on archaeology and the archaeologist, the bibliography provides a good deal of material, some on specific topics from the journals and some on more general topics from books, most from 1980 to the present and some of historical interest from the 1960s and later.I would definitely recommend this book for a school library serving students from forth grade and later. The book would be comprehendible to good readers of whatever age and gives a clear account of an archaeologist's life and what one has to learn to become one.
Excellent book of one man's quest too understand the beliefs and actions of bronze age Britain's people. Enjoyed this thoroughly, is the second Francis Pryor book and i expect to read more. His enthusiasm is infectious.
Excellent book. Some theories seem dodgy, but that's inevitable. Some demonstrations of incredible obtuseness even as recently as the 90s. But the facts are given in incredible detail, the methodology is explained in depth, the reasoning is clearly explained and biases are openly stated. (Not all bias is bad, and you actually get to decide what value his bias brings, good or bad. It's open. Which is refreshing.)
This a detailed look at unearthing Neolithic Britain and ruminating over the social and religious changes that may have taken place.
Fascinating— prehistory, paganism,modernity. Brilliant work by Pryor, as usual. A study of humanity,the cosmos, and the common, wonderful humanoid journey.
Seahenge is about Neolithic Britain using Seahenge as the lens.Francis Pryor has an easy conversational tone to his writing which is easy for a layperson like me to understand. He provides an overview of what is known about general life to provide a background for this interesting monument. The behind the scenes look at how it was explored and dug was riveting.My summary of what Francis Pryor's ideas about what Seahenge was meant for are undoubtedly overly generalised and quite possibly inaccurate since I am not, after all, Francis Pryor. He seems to me to believe that it was a funerary structure, possibly used by placing the body of the deceased on the platform formed by the central oak tree to be de-fleshed by natural processes. Once the body was reduced to bones, the relatives may have collected the bones to inter elsewhere.I wonder, though, if there is another explanation. In another of his books, Home, Pryor explains how wood monuments were probably intended for the living and stone monuments for the dead. One could explain Seahenge by supposing that the person was not considered truly dead, truly devoid of life, until reduced to bones, hence the use of wood.I think another possibility could be that the monument was a piece of sympathetic magic. The upside down tree would be a sort of plea to reveal what is usually hidden to the supplicant. In those days, on the cusp of the Bronze Age, the rarest knowledge would be how to work copper, from ore bearing rocks to alloying with tin to make bronze and then how to work the alloy. I doubt that the details of the process were widely known. It is tempting, then, to wonder if perhaps the local smith had died before passing his knowledge on, so that copperworking reverted to being a hidden process. The community would have been eager to find some way of bringing the hidden processes back to life.In any case, that is an example of what I enjoyed so much about the book. It gave a wealth of knowledge but left open the possibilities of different interpretations.
