A concise, clearly written introduction to the early past of
Britain and Europe from the beginnings up to the twelfth century
AD, which presents archaeological research in a readily
understandable form. Written, and originally published in 1973, for
readers with no specialist knowledge or the subject, a major virtue
of this book is the way in which it brings into focus all the
separate strands of evidence to present a coherent narrative
development. The account starts with a brief survey of human
evolution and a consideration of the evidence of tool-making in the
Old Stone Age. It goes on to describe the origins and spread of
farming and the subsequent development of metallurgy and full urban
civilization and the contribution made by the urban civilization of
Rome to the development of Europe. It looks at the Migration Period
through to the reestablishment of urban culture in northern Europe
concluding with a brief description of conditions in the twelfth
century.
