David R Abram’s Aerial Atlas of Ancient Britain

Join us at the Poly in Falmouth on Jan 18th 2024 for an evening of inspirational images from author and photographer, David R Abram.

David has spent the past five years capturing views of Britain’s most extraordinary prehistoric sites from above in rare, sunrise light using drones and telescopic poles. Whether Neolithic tombs in Orkney, Bronze Age ceremonial sites in Cornwall or the enigmatic earthworks carved by our ancestors across Dorset, his images reveal forms invisible at ground level, and intriguing connections between the monuments and their varied landscapes.

Lively and rich with archaeological insight, David’s talk will cherry pick highlights from his new book, the Aerial Atlas of Ancient Britain (just published by Thames & Hudson, with a Foreward by Professor Alice Roberts), which charts the arc of British prehistory from the end of the Ice Age to the arrival of the Romans.

This is a rare opportunity to see his most acclaimed work projected at scale in Cornwall – an experience that is sure to inspire visits to prehistoric sites in the region you already know, and many you don’t! 

Signed copies of the Aerial Atlas of Ancient Britain will be on sale at talk.
