I really rather liked Francis Pryor's 'Seahenge' book (which wasn't actually about Seahenge that much). But in Britain BC he puts forward this idea of landscapes being divided into the realm of the living and the realm of ancestors and really does put it forward (almost) as fact.
I have infinite respect for what he's done but this has mainly been wetland, non-megalithic stuff. What stands out in Britain BC is the lack of megalithic stuff and him shoehorning his 'realms' theory onto the Stonehenge landscape. If he had chosen a 'simpler' site he probably could have been much more convincing.
Not to say he isn't a hard working and very good archaeologist with mountains of knowledge, cos he is.
