Pebbles are usually found only on the beach, in the liminal space between land and sea. But what happens when pebbles extend inland and create a ridge brushing against the sky? Landscape in the Longue Durée is a 4, 000 year history of pebbles. It is based on the results of a four-year archaeological research project of the east Devon Pebblebed heathlands, a fascinating and geologically unique landscape in the UK whose bedrock is composed entir...

Examines role of landscape in phenomenological study of ancient Britain.

Based on the results of a four-year archaeological excavation of a unique landscape in the UK consisting entirely of pebbles, the book argues that pebbles are like no other kind of stone - they occupy an especial place both in the prehistoric past and in our contemporary cu...

The Extraordinary in the Ordinary. An Anthropology of Landscapetells the fascinating story of a heathland landscape in south-west England and the way different individuals and groups engage with it.

The Handbook of Material Culture provides a critical survey of the theories, concepts, intellectual debates, substantive domains and traditions of study characterizing the analysis of things. It is cutting-edge: rather than simply reviewing the fie...
