Rough Stone Monuments and Their Builders

The work surveys megalithic stone monuments across Europe, North Africa and Asia, beginning with Stonehenge and using it to introduce types such as menhirs, trilithons, dolmens, corridor-tombs, alignements and cromlechs. It provides regional chapters on Britain and Ireland, Scandinavia, France, Iberia, Italy (including Malta and Sardinia), North Africa and Asia, illustrated plans and photographs, and considers builders' customs, burial practices, astronomical aspects, and possible origins and diffusion. A concise bibliography and comparative illustrations support archaeological discussion and regional case studies, with particular attention to complex Maltese and Sardinian structures.
