The fifth Baron Abercromby (1841-1924), a soldier and keen
archaeologist, published this two-volume work in 1912. His especial
interest was prehistoric pottery, and he introduced the word
'beaker' as a term to indicate the late Neolithic/Chalcolithic
western European culture which produced these characteristic clay
drinking vessels. His aim was to produce a chronological survey of
British and Irish ceramics from the late Neolithic to the end of
the Bronze Age, to classify these by type and geographical area,
and to examine the goods associated with dateable pottery in
burials and cremation urns. This heavily illustrated work also puts
the British beakers into their European context and considers the
possible indications of movements of people given by variations in
style. Volume 1 examines burials, the associated grave-goods, and
skeletal remains, especially skulls, which may provide ethnographic
information.
