The Cursus Enigma : Prehistoric Cattle and Cursus Alignments
CONTENTS: Background – The Openness of the Landscape during the Mesolithic/Neolithic Transition Period – Geology, Geography and Topography – The Link with Hunting or Herding – Field Research – Cursus Monuments: A Statistical Evaluation – A Statistical Evaluation of my Fieldwork – A Case Study: The Milfield Basin – Conclusion.
This book links cattle to the construction of cursus monument sites. It suggests that these monuments commenced life as a form of cattle management prior to their possible ritual importance. As such it is an original and important contribution to the cursus monument ‹enigma› debate. Previous cursus monument studies have tended to focus on the construction or post-construction phases of the monument rather than the practical reasons communities decided to locate and align these monuments where they did
