‎Chaco Revisited: New Research On The Prehistory Of Chaco Canyon New Mexico‎

‎University of Arizona Press Tucson: 2015. Softcover. Brand new book. Chaco Canyon the great Ancestral Pueblo site of the eleventh and twelfth centuries has inspired excavations and research for more than one hundred years. Chaco Revisited brings together an A-team of Chaco scholars to provide an updated refreshing analysis of over a century of scholarship. In each of the twelve chapters luminaries from the field of archaeology and anthropology such as R. Gwinn Vivian Peter Whiteley and Paul E. Minnis address some of the most fundamental questions surrounding Chaco from agriculture and craft production to social organization and skeletal analyses. Though varied in their key questions about Chaco each author uses previous research or new studies to ultimately blaze a trail for future research and discoveries about the canyon. Written by both up-and-coming and well-seasoned scholars of Chaco Canyon Chaco Revisited provides readers with a perspective that is both varied and balanced. Though a singular theory for the Chaco Canyon phenomenon is yet to be reached Chaco Revisited brings a new understanding to scholars: that Chaco was perhaps even more productive and socially complex than previous analyses would suggest. Carrie C. Heitman is an assistant professor of anthropology at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln as well as co-director for the Chaco Research Archive. Her research appears in The Oxford Handbook of the Archaeology of the American Southwest The Durable House and A Catalyst for Ideas. Stephen Plog is the David Harrison Professor of Archaeology at the University of Virginia. He has authored or edited four volumes including Ancient People of the American Southwest and Spatial Organization and Exchange. "In the same way that the ancestral inhabitants of Pueblo Bonito kept alive and renewed their cultural ties to their past by reentering and restoring their connection to parts of their pueblo that dated to over two hundred years earlier these papers renew and refurbish our understanding of collections made more than one hundred years ago."�Richard Wilshusen co-editor of Crucible of Pueblos: The Early Pueblo Period in the Northern Southwest "Certainly there's a lot of literature on Chaco Canyon but this volume brings together an all-star team of scholars to provide an important new contribution on the Chaco phenomenon."�John Kantner author of Ancient Puebloan Southwest "If budgets allow for only one book on the archaeology of Chaco Canyon this is the one to choose."�Choice University of Arizona Press, Tucson: 2015 paperback‎

‎University of New Mexico Press Albuquerque. Hardcover with dustjacket. Brand new book. Winner of the 2015 Heritage Publication Award from the New Mexico Historic Preservation Division Winner of the 2016 New Mexico-Arizona Book Award for Best Cover Large Format Winner of the 2016 Southwest Book Design and Production Award for Cover and Jacket Design from the New Mexico Book Association Winner of the 2015 Southwest Book Design and Production Award for Scholarly and Technical from the New Mexico Book Association The Paleoindian Clovis culture is known for distinctive stone and bone tools often associated with mammoth and bison remains dating back some 13500 years. While the term Clovis is known to every archaeology student few books have detailed the specifics of Clovis archaeology. This collection of essays investigates caches of Clovis tools many of which have only recently come to light. These caches are time capsules that allow archaeologists to examine Clovis tools at earlier stages of manufacture than the broken and discarded artifacts typically recovered from other sites. The studies comprising this volume treat methodological and theoretical issues including the recognition of Clovis caches Clovis lithic technology mobility and land use. 8.5 x 11 in. 264 pages 28 halftones 27 figs. 20 maps 27 charts 49 tables.

‎Exploring Sex And Gender In Bioarchaeology‎

‎University of New Mexico Press Albuquerque: 2017. Hardcover with dustjacket. Brand new book. This volume brings together the latest approaches in bioarchaeology in the study of sex and gender. Archaeologists have long used skeletal remains to identify gender. Contemporary bioarchaeologists however have begun to challenge the theoretical and methodological basis for sex assignment from the skeleton. Simultaneously they have started to consider the cultural construction of the gendered body and gender roles recognizing the body as uniquely fashioned from the interaction of biological social and environmental factors. As the contributors to this volume reveal combining skeletal data with contextual information can provide a richer understanding of life in the past. 6 x 9 in. 312 pages 40 figures. 1 map 6 tables.

‎Discovering Paquim‎

‎University of Arizona Press Tucson with the Amerind Foundation: 2016. Softcover. Brand new book. In the mid-1560s Spanish explorers marched northward through Mexico to the farthest northern reaches of the Spanish empire in Latin America. They beheld an impressive site known as Casas Grandes in the Mexican state of Chihuahua. Row upon row of walls featured houses and plazas of what was once a large population center now deserted. Called Casas Grandes Spanish for "large houses" but also known as Paquim the prehistoric archaeological site may have been one of the first that Spanish explorers encountered. The Ibarra expedition occurring perhaps no more than a hundred years after the site was abandoned contained a chronicler named Baltasar de Obregon who gave to posterity the first description of Paquim: ". . . many houses of great size strength and height . . . six and seven stories with towers and walls like fortresses for protection and defense against the enemies who undoubtedly used to make war on its inhabitants . . . large and magnificent patios paved with enormous and beautiful stones resembling jasper . . ." Casas Grandes now a UNESCO World Heritage Site is under the purview of the Instituto Nacional de Antropologia e Historia which oversees a world-class museum near the ruins. Paquim visitors can learn about the site's history and its excavations which were conducted under the pioneering research of Charles Di Peso and Eduardo Contreras Sanchez and their colleagues from INAH and the Amerind Foundation. Based on a half century of modern research since the Joint Casas Grandes Project this book explores the recent discoveries about important site and its neighbors. Drawing the expertise of fourteen scholars from the United States Mexico and Canada who have long worked in the region the chapters revel new insights about Paquim and its influence bringing this fascinating place and its story to light.

‎Ancient Paquim And The Casas Grandes World‎

‎Museum of New Mexico Press Santa Fe. Softcover. Brand new book. Paquim the great multistoried pre-Hispanic settlement also known as Casas Grandes was the center of an ancient region with hundreds of related neighbors. It also participated in massive networks that stretched their fingers through northwestern Mexico and the U.S. Southwest. Paquim is widely considered one of the most important and influential communities in ancient northern Mexico and is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Ancient Paquim and the Casas Grandes World edited by Paul E. Minnis and Michael E. Whalen summarizes the four decades of research since the Amerind Foundation and Charles Di Peso published the results of the Joint Casas Grandes Expeditions in 1974. The Joint Casas Grandes Expedition revealed the extraordinary nature of this site: monumental architecture massive ball courts ritual mounds over a ton of shell artifacts hundreds of skeletons of multicolored macaws and their pens copper from west Mexico and rich political and religious life with Mesoamerican-related images and rituals. Paquim was not one sole community but was surrounded by hundreds of outlying villages in the region indicating a zone that sustained thousands of inhabitants and influenced groups much farther afield. In celebration of the Amerind Foundation's seventieth anniversary sixteen scholars with direct and substantial experience in Casas Grandes archaeology present nine chapters covering its economy chronology history religion regional organization and importance. The two final chapters examine Paquim in broader geographic perspectives. This volume sheds new light on Casas Grandes/Paquim a great town well-adapted to its physical and economic environment that disappeared just before Spanish contact. "This book admirably meets the long-standing need for a volume that enables students and professionals to access both early and recent archaeological research in this large and archaeologically important area."�William Lipe past president Society for American Archaeology "The work of the present authors in northwestern Mexico has added greatly to our knowledge of the Northwest/Southwest and their work continues to challenge many of the interpretations of the Joint Casas Grandes Expedition as readers will see."�John Ware The Amerind Foundation "Michael Whalen and Paul Minnis have made major contributions to the archaeology of Casas Grandes its history and its region. In this volume they bring together the leading researchers to survey the state of Casas Grandes prehistory. And the view is rich exciting and hopeful! A key volume for anyone interested in the ancient Southwest and one of its most important chapters."�Stephen H.

‎New Lives For Ancient And Extinct Crops‎

‎University of Arizona Press Tucson: 2016. Softcover. Brand new book. Over many millennia farmers across the world have domesticated literally thousands of species and developed tens of thousands of varieties of these plants. Despite the astonishing agricultural diversity that existed long ago the world's current food base has narrowed to a dangerous level. By studying the long and dynamic history of farming in the ancient past archaeology can play a part in helping ensure the stability of the human food supply by identifying once-important crops and showing where and how such crops were grown in the past. Thanks to this work extinct crops might even be redomesticated from their wild progenitors. New Lives for Ancient and Extinct Crops profiles nine plant species that were important contributors to human diets and had medicinal uses in antiquity: maygrass chenopod marshelder agave little barley chia arrowroot little millet and bitter vetch. Each chapter is written by a well-known scholar who illustrates the global value of the ancient crop record to inform the present. From eastern and western North America Mesoamerica South America western Asia and south-central Asia the contributors provide examples of the unexpected wealth of information available in the archaeological record about ancient and extinct crops. "This is the first time that a collection like this with its unique focus on 'lost crops' has been brought together in this format. I can't think of a better cast of experts to write on these plants."�Catherine S. Fowler co-compiler of Northern Paiute�-Bannock Dictionary "I do not know of any book that does what New Lives for Ancient and Extinct Crops does. Each of the authors summarizes the ethnobotany and archaeology of each plant from the perspective of how it could contribute to solving or ameliorating problems created by contemporary agricultural practices in the Americas Europe and Asia."�Patty Jo Watson co-author of The Origins of Agriculture: An International Perspective "Thoroughly engaging throughout this volume will appeal to archaeologists ethnobotanists and agricultural plant scientists and students in these areas."�Choice University of Arizona Press, Tucson: 2016 paperback‎

‎Discovering North American Rock Art‎

‎University of Arizona Press Tucson: 2016. Softcover. Brand new book. From the high plains of Canada to caves in the southeastern United States images etched into and painted on stone by ancient Native Americans have aroused in observers the desire to understand their origins and meanings. Rock paintings and engravings can be found in nearly every state and province and each region has its own distinctive story of discovery and evolving investigation of the rock art record. Rock art in the twenty-first century enjoys a large and growing popularity fueled by scholarly research and public interest alike. This book explores the history of rock art research in North America and is the only volume in the past twenty-five years to provide coverage of the subject on a continental scale. Written by contributors active in rock art research it examines sites that provide a cross-section of regions and topics and complements existing books on rock art by offering new information insights and approaches to research. The first part of the volume explores different regional approaches to the study of rock art including a set of varied responses to a single site as well as an overview of broader regional research investigations. It tells how Writing-on-Stone in southern Alberta Canada reflects changing thought about rock art from the 1870s to today; it describes the role of avocational archaeologists in the Mississippi Valley where rock art styles differ on each side of the river; it explores discoveries in southwestern mountains and southeastern caves; and it integrates the investigation of cupules along Georgia's Yellow River into a full study of a site and its context. The book also compares the differences between rock art research in the United States and France: from the outset rock art was of only marginal interest to most U.S. archaeologists while French prehistorians considered cave art an integral part of archaeological research. The book's second part is concerned with working with the images today and includes coverage of gender interests government sponsorship the role of amateurs in research and chronometric studies. Much has changed in our understanding of rock art since Cotton Mather first wrote in 1714 of a strange inscription on a Massachusetts boulder and the cutting-edge contributions in this volume tell us much about both the ancient place of these enduring images and their modern meanings. Discovering North American Rock Art distills today's most authoritative knowledge of the field and is an essential volume for both specialists and hobbyists. "Discovering North American Rock Art is a superb scrutiny especially recommended for students and art historians interested in North American archaeology and Native American studies as well as this ancient and enduring form of artistic human expression"�Midwest Book Review "This book will be of interest to rock art specialists and students."�Great Plains Research "An excellent cross-section of rock art studies in North America . . . offers tremendous insight into current thinking regarding rock art research in North America and beyond."�Eric W.

‎KANT IMMANUEL. THE ARCHAEOLOGY OF NATURE‎

A few leaves of the preface with a couple of underlinings and with some marginal annotations. Otherwise very nice clean and fresh. With an old owner's signature "Dr. P. M�ller" to title-page and a gift inscrption to front free end-paper stating that the book was given as a present by Dr. Montgommery in 1863 in London. LVIII 476 pp. 1 f. Errata. � The rare first edition of Kant's seminal "Critique of Judgment" the third and last of his critiques which taken together arguably constitute the most important contribution to philosophy since Aristotle and Plato. Kant's influence on modern philosophy is primarily due to his critical works and with them he gives to philosophy a new and comprehensive way of dealing systematically with the problems of philosophy. <br><br>In the "Critique of Judgment" Kant develops philosophical aesthetics and teleology that comprises nature and art. This aesthetics fulfills an essential systematic function in the Kantian architectonic. It bridges the gap between reason and nature thus serving as a complement to practical reason of which Kant had proposed a critique two years earlier.<br><br>The third critique is essential to an understanding of Kant's project of a critical philosophy. It is here that he seeks to join the dimensions of human experience which he had laid bare in the two previous critiques. A number of the conceptual foundations he had laid from 1782 break down as he tries to demonstrate that aesthetics mediates between the realm of sensibility and that of reason.<br><br>In order to do so he sets out to show that aesthetic intuition ranges over both realms. The key to this demonstration is the claim that the two realms are isomorphic. However as Kant considers the aesthetic judgment of the products of man's artistic invention he cannot fit them into the format of a teleology of nature. Instead he develops a conceptual framework for aesthetic judgment which explains why the first section on the faculty of aesthetic judgment swelled to the point of dwarfing the section on the teleology of nature.<br><br>In the third critique the tension which inhere in the project of a critical philosophy rises to the surface. The third critique thus provides us with an invaluable glimpse into the actual workings of the mental faculties that Kant attempted to chart in his philosophy. For this very reason the third critique provided the point of departure for much of later idealist philosophy especially that of Hegel whose speculative philosophy can be seen as an articulation of the topics which Kant had uncovered in the third critique. <br><br>Warda: 125. unknown‎

He was an advocate of the historicity of places mentioned in the works of Homer and an archaeological excavator of Hissarlik now presumed to be the site of Troy along with the Mycenaean sites Mycenae and Tiryns. His work lent weight to the idea that Homer's Iliad and Virgil's Aeneid reflect historical events.

His tripartite scheme brought the first semblance of order to prehistory and formed the basis for chronological schemes developed for other areas of the globe by succeeding generations of archaeologists." Encycl. Britt.<br><br>Up until the beginning of the 19th century our understanding of antiquities had been very loose and fumbling. Studying the artifacts earlier archaeologists had used a great deal of imagination especially when adapting information from written sources to the objects. Only when Thomsen enters the scene this approach changes. He is the first to focus the investigation upon the artifacts themselves. Quickly realizing that this approach must be the only way forward he soon distinguished clearly between objects both similar and different and established what belonged together in time and where there were chronological differences. He was among the first to differentiate between history that could be studied through written sources and prehistory which could only be studied through material culture. He realized - as the first - that in order to interpret findings of prehistoric objects one would have to know their source and the context in which they were found - thus establishing the foundation for modern excavation technique. He trained the great archaeologist J.J.A. Worsaae and sent him on excavation expeditions to acquire artifacts for ethnographic museum that he had founded and thus also founded Danish archaeology. <br><br>Thomsen was the first to perceive typologies of grave goods grave types methods of burial pottery and decorative motifs and to assign these types to layers found in excavation thus combining our different sources of knowledge to establish certainty. <br><br>When in 1836 the Royal Society of Northern Antiquaries published Thomsen's illustrated contribution to "Guide to Scandinavian Archaeology" i.e. the present publication in which he put forth his chronology for the first time together with comments about typology and stratigraphy Thomsen already had an international reputation. But this publication gave him more than that - it made him the founder of modern archaeology and arguably the most influential archaeologist of all times. <br> <br>In 1816 Thomsen had been appointed head of "antiquarian" collections which later developed into the National Museum of Denmark. It was while organizing and classifying the antiquities for exhibition that he discovered how much more sense it would make to present them chronologically and so he did using what is now known as the "three-age system". Proposing that prehistory had advanced from an age of stone tools to ages of tools made from bronze and iron was not in itself a novel idea but no previous proposals allowed for the dating of artifacts which Thomsen's system did for the first time and they were all presented as systems of evolution. Refining the idea of stone-bronze-iron phases Thomsen turned it into a chronological system by seeing which artifacts occurred with which other artifacts in closed finds. In this way he was the first to establish an evidence-based division of prehistory into discrete periods. It is this seminal achievement that led to his being credited as the originator of the three-age system.<br><br>He provided for the first time a solid empirical basis for the system that ever since the present publication has laid at the foot of all archaeological research. He showed that artifacts could be classified into types and that these types varied over time in ways that correlated with the predominance of stone bronze or iron implements and weapons. In this way he turned the Three-age System from being an evolutionary scheme based on intuition and general knowledge into a system of relative chronology supported by archaeological evidence.<br><br>"His published and personal advice to Danish archaeologists concerning the best methods of excavation produced immediate results that not only verified his system empirically but placed Denmark in the forefront of European archaeology for at least a generation. He became a national authority when C.C Rafn secretary of the Kongelige Nordiske Oldskriftselskab "Royal Society of Northern Antiquaries" published his principal manuscript in "Ledetraad til Nordisk Oldkyndighed" "Guide to Scandinavian Archaeology" in 1836."<br><br>This groundbreaking publication was immediately translated into German published the following year 1837 in which form it reached a wide audience influencing the archaeologists of all of Europe. In 1848 it was published in English and became highly influential on the development of archaeology theory and practice in Great Britain and the United States.<br><br>In 1849 Thomsen founded the world's first ethnografic museum which continued to contribute significantly to the development of modern archaeology.<br><br>"Throughout the course of the nineteenth century growing amounts of archaeological material were being recovered as the vastly expanding engineering activities of the Industrial Revolution were transforming Central and Western Europe into the "workshop of the world." Indeed much of the popular appeal of archaeology in early Victorian times lay in its seeming demonstration that this contemporary technological advancement which both intrigued and delighted the middle classes was no mere accident but the acceleration of a tendency for "progress" which was innate in humankind. This evidence that cultural evolution as opposed to degeneration from an original state of grace had been a significant feature of human history made archaeology pre-eminently a science of progress. Within the context of the history of the discipline however the birth of this "scientific archaeology" as distinct from the antiquarianism of earlier times is generally associated with the unfolding of the "Three Age System" and the pioneering work of C.J. Thomsen.<br>While in the past a few archaeologists had attempted to subdivide prehistoric materials into various temporal segments it was Thomsen who first envisaged and applied on the basis of archaeological evidence a systematic classification of antiquities according to the criteria of material use and form which could be correlated with a sequence of temporal periods: the Ages of Stone Bronze and Iron familiar to every student of archaeology for the last hundred years. <br>The novelty of this approach however did not lie in the concept of technological development gleaned from his familiarity with the conjectural history of the Enlightenment or in his assumption of a sequence of Stone Bronze or Iron Ages itself a variation of Lucretius' popular model. Rather it lay in his employment of "seriational principles" acquired from his extensive knowledge of numismatics which he used to combine evidence concerning technology grave goods along with the shape and decoration of various artefacts into an internally consistent developmental sequence. Though Thomsen's Museum of Northern Antiquities in Denmark had arranged its collection of artefacts in accordance with this new system as early as 1819 the first written account of his research was not set out in print until the "Ledetraad til Nordisk Oldkyndighed" "Guide Book to Northern/Nordic Antiquities" was published in 1836. <br>While prior to Thomsen's work thinking about antiquities in both Europe and the United States bas both intellectually fragmented and essentially speculative the publication of the "Ledetraad" and its translation into German a year later unified archaeological studies by providing scholars with an exemplar or "paradigm". For while previously antiquarians and indeed classical archaeologists who were interested in what are now recognized to be prehistoric remains tended to look to written records and/or oral traditions to provide a historical context for their finds it was Thomsen who liberated archaeologists from this restrictive assumption through the creation of a carefully controlled chronology which allowed for the comprehensive study of those periods in history for which NO written records were available. In the second half of the nineteenth century Thomsen's system established itself as THE system as his basic classification of artefacts arranged in periods by virtue of an analogy with the form and function of tools in his own day was modified an elaborated upon by among others Worsaae de Mortillet and John Lubbock."

He realized - as the first - that in order to interpret findings of prehistoric objects one would have to know their source and the context in which they were found - thus establishing the foundation for modern excavation technique. He trained the great archaeologist J.J.A. Worsaae and sent him on excavation expeditions to acquire artifacts for ethnographic museum that he had founded and thus also founded Danish archaeology. <br><br>Thomsen was the first to perceive typologies of grave goods grave types methods of burial pottery and decorative motifs and to assign these types to layers found in excavation thus combining our different sources of knowledge to establish certainty. <br><br>When in 1836 the Royal Society of Northern Antiquaries published Thomsen's illustrated contribution to "Guide to Scandinavian Archaeology" i.e. the present publication in which he put forth his chronology for the first time together with comments about typology and stratigraphy Thomsen already had an international reputation. But this publication gave him more than that - it made him the founder of modern archaeology and arguably the most influential archaeologist of all times. <br> <br>In 1816 Thomsen had been appointed head of "antiquarian" collections which later developed into the National Museum of Denmark. It was while organizing and classifying the antiquities for exhibition that he discovered how much more sense it would make to present them chronologically and so he did using what is now known as the "three-age system". Proposing that prehistory had advanced from an age of stone tools to ages of tools made from bronze and iron was not in itself a novel idea but no previous proposals allowed for the dating of artifacts which Thomsen's system did for the first time and they were all presented as systems of evolution. Refining the idea of stone-bronze-iron phases Thomsen turned it into a chronological system by seeing which artifacts occurred with which other artifacts in closed finds. In this way he was the first to establish an evidence-based division of prehistory into discrete periods. It is this seminal achievement that led to his being credited as the originator of the three-age system.<br><br>He provided for the first time a solid empirical basis for the system that ever since the present publication has laid at the foot of all archaeological research. He showed that artifacts could be classified into types and that these types varied over time in ways that correlated with the predominance of stone bronze or iron implements and weapons. In this way he turned the Three-age System from being an evolutionary scheme based on intuition and general knowledge into a system of relative chronology supported by archaeological evidence.<br><br>"His published and personal advice to Danish archaeologists concerning the best methods of excavation produced immediate results that not only verified his system empirically but placed Denmark in the forefront of European archaeology for at least a generation. He became a national authority when C.C Rafn secretary of the Kongelige Nordiske Oldskriftselskab "Royal Society of Northern Antiquaries" published his principal manuscript in "Ledetraad til Nordisk Oldkyndighed" "Guide to Scandinavian Archaeology" in 1836."<br><br>This groundbreaking publication was immediately translated into German published the following year 1837 in which form it reached a wide audience influencing the archaeologists of all of Europe. In 1848 it was published in English and became highly influential on the development of archaeology theory and practice in Great Britain and the United States.<br><br>In 1849 Thomsen founded the world's first ethnografic museum which continued to contribute significantly to the development of modern archaeology.<br><br>"Throughout the course of the nineteenth century growing amounts of archaeological material were being recovered as the vastly expanding engineering activities of the Industrial Revolution were transforming Central and Western Europe into the "workshop of the world." Indeed much of the popular appeal of archaeology in early Victorian times lay in its seeming demonstration that this contemporary technological advancement which both intrigued and delighted the middle classes was no mere accident but the acceleration of a tendency for "progress" which was innate in humankind. This evidence that cultural evolution as opposed to degeneration from an original state of grace had been a significant feature of human history made archaeology pre-eminently a science of progress. Within the context of the history of the discipline however the birth of this "scientific archaeology" as distinct from the antiquarianism of earlier times is generally associated with the unfolding of the "Three Age System" and the pioneering work of C.J. Thomsen.<br>While in the past a few archaeologists had attempted to subdivide prehistoric materials into various temporal segments it was Thomsen who first envisaged and applied on the basis of archaeological evidence a systematic classification of antiquities according to the criteria of material use and form which could be correlated with a sequence of temporal periods: the Ages of Stone Bronze and Iron familiar to every student of archaeology for the last hundred years. <br>The novelty of this approach however did not lie in the concept of technological development gleaned from his familiarity with the conjectural history of the Enlightenment or in his assumption of a sequence of Stone Bronze or Iron Ages itself a variation of Lucretius' popular model. Rather it lay in his employment of "seriational principles" acquired from his extensive knowledge of numismatics which he used to combine evidence concerning technology grave goods along with the shape and decoration of various artefacts into an internally consistent developmental sequence. Though Thomsen's Museum of Northern Antiquities in Denmark had arranged its collection of artefacts in accordance with this new system as early as 1819 the first written account of his research was not set out in print until the "Ledetraad til Nordisk Oldkyndighed" "Guide Book to Northern/Nordic Antiquities" was published in 1836. <br>While prior to Thomsen's work thinking about antiquities in both Europe and the United States bas both intellectually fragmented and essentially speculative the publication of the "Ledetraad" and its translation into German a year later unified archaeological studies by providing scholars with an exemplar or "paradigm". For while previously antiquarians and indeed classical archaeologists who were interested in what are now recognized to be prehistoric remains tended to look to written records and/or oral traditions to provide a historical context for their finds it was Thomsen who liberated archaeologists from this restrictive assumption through the creation of a carefully controlled chronology which allowed for the comprehensive study of those periods in history for which NO written records were available. In the second half of the nineteenth century Thomsen's system established itself as THE system as his basic classification of artefacts arranged in periods by virtue of an analogy with the form and function of tools in his own day was modified an elaborated upon by among others Worsaae de Mortillet and John Lubbock."
