Settlement and Sacrifice is an introduction to the people who lived in Scotland from around 1500 BC to AD 200. It was a time when people built impressive houses and settlements, but also one of war and human sacrifice as society was disturbed by quarrels over resources, land and wealth.        

This book is part of a newly updated edition of the acclaimed Making of Scotland series produced by Historic Scotland and Birlinn which provides lively, accessible and up-to-date introductions to key themes and periods in Scottish history and prehistory.
