Archaeological History: a review

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  02 January 2015

Extract

These three books between them nearly cover the whole effective range of British archaeology, from the gropings and fumblings of medieval monks to the era of pollen analysis and radio-carbon. There is a gap of nearly a century, however, between the death of Stukeley in 1765 and the beginning of Dr Daniel's hundred years. That is the unfortunate but inevitable result of adopting the rigid yard-stick of a century for measuring what in fact is the growth of living knowledge.
