本文首次对史前圆形房屋的性质和作用进行了全面的研究。除了提供一个回旋研究的历史，本文还讨论了与该主题相关的方法和理论问题。然而，研究的重点是分析一个数据库持有c。1200个圆形建筑--都是在英国挖掘出来的，出版的例子，从阿伯里斯特威斯到沃什的一条线以北。这些数据跨越了从新石器时代晚期到罗马铁器时代结束的时期（c。公元前2500年-公元500年）。讨论的主要主题包括：建筑技术、结构原理、结构功能、空间使用、房屋寿命、维护、废弃和老化。从这些主题中可以看出，房屋设计、手工艺活动、家庭经济、日常生活、生计经济、景观利用、社会组织和仪式实践都发生了变化。区域和年代趋势都被确定，允许安全地洞察史前英国的日常生活，以及区域特征和更广泛的社会变革叙事。希望这篇论文将鼓励返回到史前研究的数据，走向知情的社会考古学。
This thesis provides the first comprehensive study on the character and roles of the prehistoric roundhouse. As well as providing a history of roundhouse studies, the thesis also discusses those methodological and theoretical issues associated with the subject. The research focuses, however, on the analysis of a database holding c. 1200 circular structures — all excavated, published examples in Britain, north of a line from Aberystwyth to the Wash. The data spans the period from the later Neolithic until the end of the Roman Iron Age (c. 2500 BC — AD 500). Main themes addressed include: construction techniques, structural principles, structure function, use of space, house lifespans, maintenance, abandonment, and decay. From these topics come evidence for changes in house design, craft activities, domestic economy, daily routines, subsistence economy, use of landscape, social organisation, and ritual practice. Both regional and chronological trends are identified, allowing a securely based insight into everyday life in Prehistoric Britain, alongside the characterisation of regions and a broader narrative of social change. It is hoped that the thesis will encourage a return to data in prehistoric studies with a move towards an informed social archaeology.
