The
Megalithic West The emergence of monumental architecture, and
its coincidence with the Neolithic and Early Bronze Ages, is a fascinating
subject. The arrival of Neolithic agriculturalism on the Atlantic fringe is
being pushed back as new dating technologies are brought into play — in 2005
analysis of archaeological evidence suggests that mixed farming was already
mature on Orkney by 4000 BCe. The Neolithic heralded a transformation in
technology and social organisation that was to accelerate a long history of
cultural interchange.
