Living with the ancestors: Neolithic death and remembrance
from The English Heritage Podcast · host English Heritage
People in the early Neolithic period were pioneering farming in England and building our first architecture – not stone circles or elegant homes, but grand tombs that often dominated the landscape. This time on the English Heritage podcast, Amy Matthews steps back in time with Jennifer Wexler and Win Scutt to explore how death and remembrance were tied into the cultures, daily lives and traditions of the people who built the world we live in today. But how much can we relate to them now? Join the debate! Don’t forget to follow this podcast and leave a review if you love the show.
