Author

Dr John Hill is an experimental archaeologist. His field of research investigates the architectural designs of British Neolithic structures—both domestic and ceremonial monuments. He utilises his original, practical techniques of experimental archaeology in order to determine how the Neolithic communities could have designed and constructed such impressive structures using rudimentary methods. Although now retired, he still finds time to teach archaeology and history at the University of Liverpool’s Continuing Education Department, as well as its International Summer School.

Archaeology, Design, Astronomy and Methods
By: John Hill
From £30.99

Using experimental archaeology, this book explains how Aberdeenshire’s Recumbent Stone Circles were built. It reveals how prehistoric communities created a network of inter-aligned stone circles, using them to synchronise time and space through their shared astronomy.
