A landmark work in prehistoric archaeology, The Mound People chronicles the lives, deaths, and burial customs of the Bronze Age inhabitants of Denmark, whose remarkably preserved remains were discovered in ancient burial mounds across the Jutland peninsula. Written by the renowned Danish archaeologist P.V. Glob — celebrated for his earlier masterwork The Bog People — this volume presents a vivid and authoritative account of a vanished civilisation reconstructed through grave goods, skeletal remains, and woven garments that have survived for over three thousand years. Glob details the rituals, social hierarchies, and daily existence of these early northern Europeans with the precision of a scientist and the narrative flair of a storyteller. Richly illustrated and thoroughly researched, it stands as an essential text for anyone captivated by the ancient past of Scandinavia and prehistoric Europe.
