Kent in Prehistoric Times by Paul Ashbee
0-7524-3136-6. 224pp, 75 illus.
Paul Ashbee, a Patron of the KAS, has known Kent and its prehistoric monuments since his schooldays. This long-awaited book is a wide-ranging and accessible account of the county’s prehistory.
Having first covered the broad environmental features of the county and the work of the early antiquaries and pioneer prehistorians, Dr Ashbee then explains the long Palaeolithic lineage and the Mesolithic interlude. The great chambered tombs of the Neolithic, such as the Coldrum and Kits Coty, and the Iron Age, with its large hill forts like Bigbury and Oldbury, are covered in detail.
Normal retail price is £19.99. A special offer is available to KAS members – please see the enclosed flyer.
