520 2  "Megalithic monuments are among the most striking remains 
       of the Neolithic period of northern and western Europe and
       are scattered across landscapes from Pomerania to 
       Portugal. Antiquarians and archaeologists early recognised
       the family resemblance of the different groups of tombs, 
       attributing them to maritime peoples moving along the 
       western seaways. More recent research sees them rather as 
       the product of established early farming communities in 
       their individual regions. Yet the diversity of the tombs, 
       their chronologies and their varied cultural contexts 
       complicates any straightforward understanding of their 
       origins and distribution. Megalithic Architectures 
       provides new insight by focusing on the construction and 
       design of European megalithic tombs--on the tomb as an 
       architectural project. It shows how much is to be learned 
       from detailed attention to the stages and the techniques 
       through which tombs were built, modified and enlarged, and
       often intentionally dismantled or decommissioned. The 
       large slabs that were employed, often unshaped, may 
       suggest an opportunistic approach by the Neolithic 
       builders, but this was clearly far from the case. Each 
       building project was unique, and detailed study of 
       individual sites exposes the way in which tombs were built
       as architectural, social and symbolic undertakings. 
       Alongside the manner in which the materials were used, it 
       reveals a store of knowledge that sometimes differed 
       considerably from one structure to another, even between 
       contemporary monuments within a single region. The volume 
       brings together regional specialists from Scandinavia, 
       Germany, Britain, France, Belgium and Iberia to offer a 
       series of uniquely authoritative studies. Results of 
       recent fieldwork are fully incorporated and much of the 
       material is published here for the first time in English. 
       It provides an invaluable overview of the current state of
       research on European megalithic tombs"--From publisher's
