The Roundhouse Question |
|
It seems that Roundhouses were everywhere in Prehistoric Britain but not in Europe. Andrew J. Lawson, a freelance Archaeological consultant and traveller published the feature, The Nomads of Ancient Wessex March-April 2007 of British Archaeology 93. After studying the livestock ranching nomadic (‘mobile herdsmen’) of Mongolia with their round, portable yurts who moved constantly and left no trace save for the occasional stone monument he made the suggestion that the Bronze Age people of Britain led a similar lifestyle. I sent the following letter to Brit Arch. I have so far received no replies and seemingly, it evoked no comment. www.britarch.ac.uk/ba |
