Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Earthwork of England: Prehistoric, Roman, Saxon, Danish, Norman, and Mediæval In the general quickening of interest in all things savouring of antiquity, earthworks have had a certain share, if a small one; so that while there are a few persons who have some knowledge of the subject, there are very many more who wish to know. To the former few the writer tenders his apologies for having essayed to perform a task for which any one of them had doubtless been better qualified; to the latter many he apologizes for the tasks being no better done. His purpose has been to stimulate a more general interest in the most neglected branch of British Archaeology by suggesting something of the variety and many-sided interest of the subject, the abundance of the material, the need of intelligent observation. He has tried to show that, in spite of neglect, the subject has already attained to some measure of systematization and certitude, and to point out in what directions further research is most desirable. He has tried to clear the subject of certain hoary preconceptions, to point out those details which require to be sought for, and to warn the inexperienced against some of the more obvious pitfalls which lie in the path.
