Following
an

archaeology, the arrangement is roughly chronological, with sections
focusing on the transition to agriculture, the introduction of metallurgy,
the European Iron Age and the period of great migrations.
Many of
the

scholarly
articles
discuss
such
topics
as
early
crops,
the
first
domestication of the horse, the building of trackways through
swamps,
the
first
boats,
the
beginnings
of
trade and markets, and the
origins of iron production. Other entries feature particular sites or
finds
like
the
Ice
Man,
Varna,
Stonehenge
and
Sutton
Hoo.
A
glossary, timelines, more than 300 maps and illustrations and
selective bibliographies in each entry aid the beginning researcher.
This insightful guide is highly recommended for academic libraries.
