This work provides an introduction to the chronological development and technology of prehistoric ceramics. It should be suitable for laymen, students and specialists interested in prehistoric and Romano-British pottery. It aims not to reiterate or redefine existing and accepted ceramic styles used in prehistory, but to clarify and outline these styles in an accessible way. It is directed towards the more technical side of ceramic studies and presents new data.

Praised by The Archaeologist as "a very readable and stimulating review," the author’s ground-breaking study of 1998 is brought up-to-date in the light of the latest archaeological evidence. The author shows how Stonehenge can help us to understand the Neolithic and Bronze Age timber circles of Britain and Ireland, and how these timber circles aid our understanding of Stonehenge. He attempts their reconstruction, discusses their possible usages and functions, and describes how rituals may have changed through time. The relationship of timber circles with henges and stone circles is also explored.
