《达特摩尔雷夫斯》于1988年首次出版,是一部关于考古实地调查和发现的经典故事,并获得了考古图书奖。这一重要的新版在原始的开创性文本中添加了彩色插图和两个实质性的新章节,彻底改变了我们对英国史前景观的理解。
达特摩尔长期以来以其丰富的史前遗产而闻名;石头圈、茅屋圈、巨大的石棺和石排都点缀着整个景观。20世纪70年代,随着人们认识到长期被忽视的reaves(毁坏的墙壁)也是史前建筑,一个新的维度被加入进来;达特摩尔现在对青铜时代社会的性质提出了各种各样的问题。安德鲁·弗莱明(Andrew Fleming)描述了一个关键时刻,他自己的实地调查发现了收割者的模式,并意识到了他们的真实身份。
他的新章节将达特穆尔的大规模、有计划的史前景观置于其他地方发现的“同轴”磁场系统的背景下,并根据青铜时代的最新研究讨论了它们的意义。

The Dartmoor Reaves: Investigating Prehistoric Land Divisions
First published in 1988, The Dartmoor Reaves is a classic story of archaeological fieldwork and discovery, and a winner of the Archaeological Book Award. This major new edition adds both color illustrations and two substantial new chapters to the original groundbreaking text, which revolutionized our understanding of Britain’s prehistoric landscapes.
Dartmoor has long been known for the richness of its prehistoric heritage; stone circles, hut circles, massive burial cairns, and stone rows all pepper the landscape. In the 1970s a new dimension was added, with the recognition that the long-ignored reaves (ruined walls) are also prehistoric; Dartmoor now posed all sorts of questions about the nature of Bronze Age society. Andrew Fleming describes the critical moment when his own fieldwork picked up the pattern of the reaves, and he realized their true identity.
His new chapters place Dartmoor’s large-scale, planned, prehistoric landscapes in the context of other ‘co-axial’ field systems that have since been found elsewhere, and also discuss their meaning, in the light of the latest research on the Bronze Age.
