About the Book

This next in the successful Neolithic Studies Group Seminar Papers series arises from the day conference held in November 2024. Following on from 2023’s Revisiting Grooved Ware volume, it aims to provide an up-to-date analysis and synthesis of Middle Neolithic (3600–2900 BC) pottery in Britain and Ireland that falls under the umbrella term of Impressed Ware. The pottery represents the final expression of Early Neolithic carinated bowls, which have evolved into highly decorated vessels using a variety of fibre, animal bone, and fingernail/tip impressions to form their distinctive and extensive decoration. The pottery is spread widely over Britain and Ireland with marked regionality as well as a contrasting degree of uniformity. This has never before been studied in detail so this book will provide the first wide overview of Impressed Wares of both Britain and Ireland, looking not just at regionality but also dating. Radiocarbon dates are currently largely restricted to individual site assemblages but this book will bring together regional dates to present a national overview. Following the format of the Grooved Ware volume, this will be presented as a series of regional syntheses, written by acknowledged experts in their field, with a final chapter to draw together the first truly national consideration of this important ceramic tradition, examining not just its origins, its regional nuances of style but also its much debated legacy.
