A series of six programmes giving a view of man and his expanding society seen in the archaeological landscape of the South
Between 7,000 and 4,000 years ago, what had been a fragmented society of hunters began to show signs of a definite social order and stability. Huge monuments from that age still survive as in Stonehenge and Avebury. But others, equally impressive in their day, have disappeared. It was a primitive time, but also a time of genius.
Presented by Professor Barry Cunliffe from Chalton Down, Petersfield
with Professor Alexander Thorn, Dr Geoffrey Wainwright, Dr Calvin Wells
