Figure 1 (Top): Location, South-West UK, central Somerset, the Somerset study area (dashed-line); river and stream system (black line); contour at 10m intervals (grey line).
(Bottom): The study area. The distribution of artefact- and site-based evidence, mostly Neolithic to earlier Bronze Age in relation to the main landscape types: the Polden Hills (labelled: open, outlined with black dashed line), the Somerset Levels and Moors (labelled: grey dots) and the Mendip Hills (labelled: open, outlined with black dashed line).
