Aegean archaeology. An introduction to the archaeology of prehistoric Greece

London: The Medici Society, 1915. — 270 p. — (Handbooks to Ancient Civilizations Series)In this book I have endeavoured to give as succinctly X as possible a general account of the remains of the ancient Aegean civilization of the Bronze Age, the dominant culture of prehistoric Greece, which has been revealed to us by the excavations of Schliemann, Evans, Halbherr, and others, at Mycenae, Knossos, Phaistos, and many other sites in Greece and the Aegean islands, especially Crete, during the last forty years. Historical conclusions have been omitted from consideration, as my own views as to the pre-history of Greece have already been expressed in another work. This book is concerned only with the archaeological discoveries, the actual results of excavation, and the purely cultural conclusions which we may draw from them. The evidence of Greek legend has been touched upon only as illustrating these conclusions, and not in connexion with history, as this lies outside the scope of the work.
