Excerpt from Prehistoric Scotland: And Its Place in European Civilization, Being a General Introduction to the "County Histories of Scotland" The primary object of this book is to lay before the public a short account of the methods and means by which archæologists are endeavouring to elucidate that obscure period in the history of Scotland vaguely defined as the prehistoric. From the very beginning I foresaw that this would be a labour of so...

Excerpt from Archæology and False AntiquitiesSuch a work could not have been undertaken. With reasonable prospects of success. Without utilising to a considerable extent the labours of other workers in the same field. On this point I have adhered to mv usual practice of quoting. As far as practicable. The actual words of authors whose opinions are contravened. Or approved, instead of compiling the substance of their views. All materials thus i...

Excerpt from Ancient Scottish Lake-Dwellings or Crannogs: With a Supplementary Chapter on Remains of Lake-Dwellings in England Such being its comprehensive scope, perhaps an apology ought to be here made for its many short comings, but this, I trust, will appear less necessary when I explain that it is the result of the occupation of such scraps of time as could be spared during the last two or three years from the active duties of a busy pro...

Excerpt from The Lake-Dwellings of Europe: Being the Rhind Lectures in Archæology for 1888In these circumstances I resolved to proceed de now, and to construct my story of the lake-dwellings from whatever trustworthy sources I could lay my hands on. In order to carry out this intention my wife and I per ambulated the whole of Central Europe with note and sketch books in hand, visiting, as far as practicable, the sites of lake-dwellings, and se...

But the Britain of that early period differed widely from the Br...
