This book provides a multi-disciplinary study of Bronze Age and present day worlds and landscapes on North West Bodmin Moor. It is the outcome of a highly innovative project which focused on the multivocality of method and interpretation associated with interpreting the past in the present. In terms of the archaeological past it provides a major synthesis of the Bronze Age settlements and ritual sites of the Moor and specifically that at Leskernick. These Bronze Ages are contextualised against other Bronze Ages of southwestern and central Britain. Excavation, field survey, geomorphological analysis, environmental studies, anthropology and sociology all contribute to this analysis. The format of the book is highly experimental in its combination of different types of text (including dialogue, story telling and poetry) and visual imagery (including photo narratives).
