Jay
The archaeologist and Bronze Age metal specialist Dr Jay J. Butler (1921-2014) was a kind, warmhearted man, averse to hype and ostentation, who was happy to share his knowledge in non-academic language both with professionals and interested amateurs. But woe betide anyone who might use the evidence to draw unwarranted conclusions… A cosmopolitan American, he demonstrated that people in the Bronze Age maintained contacts that reached well beyond today’s national frontiers. In practicals with his students he acquainted them with, for instance, the difficulties of bronze casting: prehistoric artisans were far more sophisticated than previously thought. He started taking samples for metal an...
Midden-bronstijdsamenlevingen in het zuiden van de Lage Landen
This thesis reviews and re-assesses the Hilversum Culture of the southern Netherlands and Flanders in the second millennium BC. Completed ten years ago, but re-issued with a new introduction by the author. Text in Dutch. In deze studie staan de overblijfselen van prehistorische boerengemeenschappen van omstreeks 3500 jaar geleden centraal. Het gaat om samenlevingen die de pleistocene zandgronden van Zuid-Nederland en Vlaanderen in de periode van 1800 tot 1050 voor Chr. bewoonden. Van hun boerenbestaan van toen rest niet veel, maar het databestand aan archeologische ontdekkingen uit deze periode groeit sinds jaar en dag. Het was de archeoloog Willem Glasbergen die in de jaren vijftig de overb...
The TRB West Group
A classic study of the pottery of the TRB West group, originally published in 1979. Bakker deals with the research history and typochronology of the TRB pottery. Also he gives a detailed account of the other TRB finds such as flint and stone artefacts and of course the most important TRB sites. Over the years this book has become a standard-work for anyone who is interested in hunebeds and their makers. The author has written a new introduction to this reprint in which he describes how the book of 1979 came together and the research that has been carried out since then.

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 ...
Een bronstijdonderzoeker met een brede blik
Als je 93 jaar hebt geleefd, heb je meestal wel het één en ander meegemaakt en als je dan ook nog een vooraanstaand Bronstijd metaaldeskundige bent, zal er beslist iets over je te vertellen zijn... Jay J. Butler was een zachtaardige man, vol humor en soms ironisch, maar altijd vriendelijk en hartelijk. Als hij een collega niet zag zitten, had deze dat te danken aan zijn (in Jay's ogen) onwetenschappelijk gedrag. De grote kennis van Jay over de Noordwest Europeese bronzen kwam hem niet aanwaaien: hij heeft heel veel musea en privébezitters bezocht, hun bronzen in handen gehad en daarvan schetsen gemaakt, die zó goed zijn, dat je er blindelings op kunt vertrouwen. Op de fiches met zijn bes...
