Archaeology in England and Wales 1914 - 1931
This survey of work carried out over a number of years synthesises the progress of archaeology, showing at a glance the changes within less than quarter of a century on the interpretation of and reflection on knowledge in the area. Entertainingly, written, this is a lasting introductory account of important finds in English and Welsh archaeology, by two of the key researchers of the time. Heavily illustrated, this book showcases many artefacts as well as maps and plans, offering a wealth of information.
Greeks, Celts, and Romans: Studies in Venture and Resistance
This is an archaeological study of quite a new kind, appealing to readers of widely differing tastes and levels of knowledge. Its authors are acknowledged leaders in their fields and each one echoes the book's theme of 'venture' and 'resistance'. By 'venture', Professor Hawkes and his associates are thinking in terms of the intrusion of Greeks into Italy or Rome's extension of her empire. By 'resistance' is meant, for example, the willingness of the Etruscans to trade but not to be dislodged; the Celts retaining their own old form of dwelling in spite of newer kinds ; the Romans themselves forced on to the defensive in Britain and then along the Danube. Each of the four subjects is treated separately by an author who studied archaeology at Oxford, illuminating the basic theme in the light of the most recent archaeological findings. -- Publisher description.

Archaeological Encounters
This book examines the relationship between British and Spanish archaeology in the light of international geographies of knowledge. It looks at the practical aspects of the personal relationships established between British and Spanish prehistoric archaeologists from the 1920s to the 1970s. Part I of the book sets the scene. It provides some contextual information on the main events in the archaeology of both countries in the period under study. It also introduces Professor Luis Pericot, the archaeologist whose archive serves as the basis for much of what is discussed throughout the following chapters. In Part II of the book an analysis of the correspondence held in the Pericot Archive (the ...
Grahame Clark and His Legacy
Grahame Clark was a major figure in European archaeology for over 50 years, and pioneered work in prehistoric economies and ecology, in science-based archaeology and in a world view of ancient societies. In this book a variety of authorities from Europe and beyond assess these major contributions and provide discussions about Clark's own colleagues and contemporaries, his major archaeological themes and his varied approaches, and his world-wide contacts and travels. The papers provide surveys and opinions on Clark's role in the development of archaeology in the 20th century, and the basis that it provided for archaeological work of today. The book will be a valuable source of evidence, ideas and references for scholars interested in the development of the discipline.
