  • Setting the scene: the palaeolithic and the late-glacial of Britain, adaptation and subsistence in a changing environment
  • The view from the hills: sea-level rise, post-glacial climate change, landscape change and changing environments
  • Tools of the trade: post-glacial toolkits, their use and their significance
  • Coming home to a real fire: landscape utilisation and settlement patterning
