What was life like in Scotland between 4000 and 2000 BC? Where were people living? Why did they spend so much time building extravagant ritual monuments? This volume presents fresh research and radical new interpretations of the pits, postholes, ditches, rubbish clumps, human remains and broken potsherds left behind by our Neolithic forebears.
