Megalithic Imperative: A Third Stone Anthology, Paperback

Occupying those resonant spaces where archaeology meets folklore and myth, Third Stone was from 1994 to 2003 the United Kingdom’s most exciting journal for exploring Europe’s ancient past. Here researchers from a wide range of backgrounds, practices and disciplines could exchange knowledge and critique ideas. Established academics and celebrated authors mingled with independent scholars, mystics, and Neo-pagans, all with the common goal of understanding the way our ancient ancestors thought, lived and built in our shared landscapes.

The Megalithic Imperative: A Third Stone Reader presents a selection of articles originally published in the magazine, alongside new commentaries from the original authors, contextualizing notes from Third Stone’s editor Neil Mortimer, and an introduction setting out the magazine's history and evolution within the alternative archaeology and Earth Mysteries movements of the time.
