The six chapters are based on his November 1962 Rhind Lectures in archaeology for the Society of Antiquaries of Scotland, but reflect his teaching at the University of Edinburgh since 1946. His goal was to provide general readers an overall outline with illustrations of Europe between the advents of agriculture and of classical civilization, but with enough technical material to interest professional archaeologists. The 1965 Ancient Europe from the Beginnings of Agriculture to Classical Antiquity was published by University Press, Edinburgh. Annotation ©2008 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR ()
