دانلود کتاب The Stone and Bronze Ages in Italy and Sicily

توضیحاتی در مورد کتاب به زبان اصلی :

Oxford: The Clarendon Press, 1909. — 580 pp."The object of the work was twofold: firstly, to describe the prehistoric civilizations of Italy, and secondly, to determine their relations to those which flourished contemporaneously in the Aegaean and the Mediterranean generally, and in Central Europe. In order to achieve the second part of this object it was necessary to attack Italy firstly from the Mediterranean side, and secondly from Central Europe. I therefore began by spending some months in Greece, Crete and the Aegaean, and afterwards moved on to Sicily and South and Central Italy, watching closely for similarities and analogies with the Aegaean. When this had been done I adopted the same method with regard to Central Europe. This task proved much longer than I had expected, and, as a result, it became necessary to abandon the idea of including the early iron age in the work. To this I hope to return later. For the present its inclusion would but have impaired the completeness of the rest of the work."
