Biography
Alasdair Whittle is a research professor in the School of History and Archaeology at Cardiff University. His previous publications include Europe in the Neolithic: the creation of new worlds (1996) and (with Joshua Pollard and Caroline Grigson) The Harmony of Symbols: the Windmill Hill causewayed enclosure, Wiltshire (1999).
"Whittle's general argument is persuasive and, more, to the point, stimulating. His case studies present a rational and balanced articulation between collective structure and individual action." - Journal of Anthropological Research
