Eric (Thomas Eric) 1882 1934 Peet, Thomas Eric 13000467 Rough Stone Monuments and Their Builders Produced by Juliet Sutherland, Peter Barozzi and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team. "Rough Stone Monuments and Their Builders" by T. Eric Peet is a scholarly account written in the early 20th century. The work explores megalithic structures, particularly those found in England and abroad, detailing their architectural significance and the cultural context of their builders over thousands of years. Peet aims to shed light on these fascinating stone edifices and their worldwide counterparts, addressing archaeology's understanding of these ancient constructs while delving into historical and mythological narratives associated with them. The opening of the volume begins with the introduction to Stonehenge, a well-known megalithic site in England, acknowledging its famed status while emphasizing its connection to a broader network of similar monuments spanning various cultures and epochs. Peet defines what constitutes a megalithic structure, outlining the different types, such as menhirs, dolmens, and corridor-tombs, while discussing the construction techniques used by ancient builders and the sociopolitical dynamics that may have influenced these monumental undertakings. This initial exploration sets the stage for a thorough examination of the architectural characteristics, distribution, and cultural implications of megalithic monuments, promising detailed insights into the human experiences that shaped these remarkable works.
