Books by Christopher Tilley

Examines the prehistory of Britain from Mesolithic to Iron Age times in terms of periods or artifact classifications, asserting the fundamental significance of the bones of the land in the process of human occupation. This work presents an account of the landscapes of southern England and the people who inhabited them.

The understanding and interpretation of ancient architecture, landscapes, and art has always been viewed through an iconographic lens-a cognitive process based on traditional practices in art history. This work argues that the iconographic approach falls short of understanding how ancient people interacted with their imagery.

This book is an extended photographic essay about the topographic features of the landscape. The author puts forward a radically new perspective for conceptualizing the meaning and significance of prehistoric monuments in relation to the natural landscape.
