The Bronze Age Neolithic? Problems of Continuity and Chronology – Aberdeen 12 Jan

12th January 2016 @ 7:30 pm - 8:30 pm

Duggleby Howe

Lecture by Dr Alex Gibson, Reader in Prehistory, University of Bradford

In association with The Prehistoric Society

 

For some time it has been commonly acknowledged that Bronze Age ceramics developed from Neolithic forms. Radiocarbon chronology, however, has shown that there was almost a millennium between the demise of Impressed Wares and the advent of Food Vessels and Urns. Given this chronological gap, how do we explain the undeniable similarities? A closer inspection of Bronze Age culture and customs suggests that there was more than just pottery making a re-appearance.
