{"product_id":"before-civilization","title":"Before Civilization","description":"The refinement of radiocarbon dating using the information form tree-ring counts has raised serious doubts about the accepted theoretical frameowkr of European prehistory. Monuments in Central and Western Europe have proved to be considerably older than their supposed Near-Eastern forerunners, and the record must be almost completely rewritten in the light of these new dates. Before Civilsation is a preliminary attempt to do this with the help of analogies from more recent and well-documented primitive societies. The more glaring inconsistencies in the old theory are re-examined and Professor Renfrew shows convincingly how the baffling monuments of prehistoric Europe, like Stonehenge, could have been built without recourse to help from the 'more civilized' Near East.","brand":"Vintage","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54217100722520,"sku":"9780712665933","price":19.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9780712665933.jpg?v=1777045522","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/before-civilization","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
