Book excerpt: Excerpt from Everyday Life in Prehistoric Times For the ordinary man, it seems sufficient to suppose that if you find the same kind of fossil in the limestones of America and England, and find the limestone itself in the same relative position to the other strata, then if the two are not twin brothers they must be most nearly related. The modern scientist can find out by observation how long the delta of a river, or any other form of sediment, takes to accumulate. In this way they form a scale by which they can also estimate the age of the older deposits. To revert then to our strata: The Chart (p. xi) shows the Geological Periods and the stratified rocks. These latter are shown in the order in which they were deposited, starting from the bottom upwards. To illustrate this more fully, we give a section across Wales and England (Fig.3). We have Snowdon in the west at A. Its base at 1 is built on Pre-Cambrian, Cambrian, and Ordovician rocks, and there is an outcrop of these more to the east. Eruptive rocks appear at 3, and the Silurian at 4. The Devonian at 5, and at 6 the Gneiss at Malvern. All this west part of England has been disturbed, and the many skins or strata of the earth distorted by enormous physical disturbances. At B are the Malverns, and here there is a fault or break in the stratum, but as we go east the geological conditions become easier to understand; 8 and 9 are Red Marl or Triassic; 10 the Lias. At C we have the Cotswold Hills composed of the Oolites, 11; the Lias and Oolites are Jurassic. This is overlaid by the Greensand at 12, and the Chalk of the Chiltern Hills at 13; these are Cretaceous. Then we have the Eocene beds at 14. We shall not be very concerned with the primary rocks in our study of prehistoric life, but shall soon come across references to those of the Mesozoic, or Secondary Period.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Prehistoric Man and His Story: A Sketch of the History of Mankind From the Earliest Times It would surely be a great pity if ordinary intelligent readers could no longer follow comfortably the most interesting of all sciences, and we have therefore avoided technical terms wherever it was possible, and we have tried to keep the main outline clear and consecutive. I have endeavoured, as far as possible, to avoid repeating what has already been given in full detail in books of the same nature, and preferred foreign authorities as being less accessible to the general reader. It must also be remembered that to every question discussed in the following pages, there are not merely two, but several sides. The solution is always a matter of probability and balance of evidence. I have selected that solution which seems most satisfying, and which best explains the facts as at present known.

We all long at times for some Aladdin's lamp which shall enable us to thread our way through the fogs and mists with which time has shrouded the old story. The traditions of men have responded to this yearning in various ways, some allegorical and some prosaic; while in some, again, the too fantastic story has been worked over and made to look more reasonable by later hands.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While the study of ancient civilizations has often focused on holy temples and royal tombs, a substantial part of the archaeological record remains hidden in the understudied day-to-day lives of artisans, farmers, hunters, and other ordinary people of the ancient world. The various chores of a person's daily life can be quite extraordinary and, even though they may seem trivial, such activities can have a powerful effect on society as a whole. Everyday Life Matters develops general methods and theories for studying everyday life applicable in archaeology, anthropology, and a wide range of disciplines. In this groundbreaking work, Cynthia Robin examines the 2,000-year history (800 B.C.-A.D. 1200) of the ancient farming community of Chan in Belize, explaining why the average person should matter to archaeologists studying larger societal patterns. Robin argues that the impact of what is commonly perceived as habitual or quotidian can be substantial, and a study of a polity without regard to the citizenry is woefully incomplete. She also develops general methods and theories for studying everyday life applicable across a wide range of disciplines. Refocusing attention from the Maya elite and offering critical analysis of daily life interwoven with larger anthropological theories, Robin engages us to consider the larger implications of the seemingly mundane and to rethink the constitution of human societies, everyday life, and ordinary people.
