From Genesis to Prehistory

Auteur: Rowley-Conwy, Peter (Reader in Archaeology, Durham University)
Editeur: Oxford University Press
The now familiar Three Age System, the archaeological partitioning of the past into Stone, Bronze, and Iron Ages, was conceived in Denmark in the 1830s. Peter Rowley-Conwy investigates the reasons why the system was adopted without demur in Scandinavia, yet was the subject of a bitter and protracted contest in Britain and Ireland up to the 1870s.
