Prehistoric Lancashire

What was life like for the prehistoric inhabitants of Lancashire? This is the first book to look at the history of the county from the Mesolithic to the Iron Age period. What emerges is a picture of a complex society that changed and developed with the introduction of new technologies and influences from overseas. David Barrowclough provides a narrative of how life would have been for the early residents of this county and explains the monuments they left behind them in the landscape. Out of this study emerges elements of a uniquely Lancastrian prehistoric culture which at the same time shared some of the core values of the wider British prehistoric period. With new data from a number of unpublished sites and exceptional illustrations, this book is of interest to both scholars and the general public.
