Younger, R. K. (2021). Monumentality and commemoration at a Late Neolithic henge site in Scotland. In Stoddart, Simon.

[Book chapter]. https://doi.org/10.17863/CAM.81508
Abstract
Gardening may seem worlds away from Nuraghi and brochs, but tending a garden is a long process involving patience, accretion and memory. Scholars argue that memories are also cultured, developed and regained. The monuments in Scotland and Sardinia are testament to the importance of memory and its role in maintaining social relations.
This collection of twenty-one papers addresses the theme of memory anchored to the enduring presence of monuments, mainly from Scotland and Sardinia, but also from Central Europe and the Balkans.
