description: This analysis is concerned with the dating of megaliths in Europe and is based on 2410 available radiocarbon results from pre-megalithic and megalithic sites, and to the megaliths contemporaneous contexts and the application of a Bayesian statistical framework. It is, so far, the largest existing attempt to establish a supra-regional synthesis on the emergence and development of megaliths in Europe. Its aim is to assist in the clarification of an over 200-year-old, ongoing research debate.Table of ContentsChapter 1 Megaliths and megalithic societies in EuropeChapter 2 Methodical Radiocarbon Dates and Bayesian Chronological ModellingChapter 3 Northwest FranceChapter 4 CataloniaChapter 5 Southern FranceChapter 6 CorsicaChapter 7 SardiniaChapter 8 The Maltese ArchipelagoChapter 9 Southern SpainChapter 10 West Iberian PeninsulaChapter 11 The other megalithic regions in Northern Europe and in the MediterraneanChapter 12 the emergence and spreading of megaliths and megalithic societies in EuropeAppendix 1 Oversight GraphicAppendix 2 GlossaryAppendix 3 DataBibliography
