Tarquinia, Villanovans and Early Etruscans
Tarquinia and Etruscan Origins
A View of Etruscan Origins
In recent years there have appeared a number of books about the Etruscans. These have for the most part been devoted to Etruscan art and culture of the historical period, and touch only lightly on the so-called mystery of Etruscan origins. This mystery is a peculiar thing, for no one regards the origin of other ancient peoples such as the Greeks or the Romans as mysterious. It is simply assumed that they developed where they are found at the begi…

Horse Tripods of Etruria
A Western Razor in Sicily
In her useful paper on Late Bronze Age razors Mrs Piggott has designated as Class II the bifid razors. For these she suggests dates ranging from about 750 B.C. to about 400 B.C. Without wishing to dispute these dates for the British examples—indeed the date of about 400 B.C. for the one from All Cannings Cross cannot be altered by much—I would suggest that such razors may have been in use some time previously if not in Britain then on the western…

Beitzsch and Knossos
The recent discovery at Knossos of a bronze bell helmet (pl. 1; also de Jong and Hood, 1952, and Hood, 1952) of Late Minoan 11, usually dated 1450–1400 B.C., focuses attention on the series of similar helmets that have long been known from Europe. The helmet from Knossos is topped with a knob within which is a tube that penetrates the inside of the helmet. This must have been for a plume. The knob is held in place by seven small rivets. There are…

Herzsprung Shields and Greek Trade
Future Aims and Methods in Research in Prehistoric Europe
EARLY Europe is an inviting area, especially from the teaching point of view, because of all continents it has been most fully studied from the time of its earliest inhabitants until the present. For the chronology of the early periods the use of geology and palaeobotany and for the later periods the tracing of imported objects and cultural influences from areas dated by historical record establish a procedure that is of value in many other archa…

The Harvard Archaeological Expedition in Ireland
The "Irish Monastery" at North Salem, New Hampshire
win has tentatively put forward the suggestion, which in the hands of the press has assumed a more definite and sensational form, that the buildings were really an Irish monastery established by sailor monks, like those who settled in Iceland before the Norse occupation there in the latter part of the ninth century. Such monks in the New World might, he thinks, have been seeking solitude beyond the sea and peace from Viking raiders. Mr. Goodwin h…

XII.— An Excavation by H.M. Office of Works at Chysauster, Cornwall, 1931
In 1930 Col. C. R. R. Malone, J.P., of Trevaylor, generously placed in the custody of H.M. Office of Works the remains of an extensive Celtic village of the Romano-British period and possibly earlier. The site, commonly called Chysauster, lies upon a gentle south-western slope between the farms of Chysauster and Carnaquidden in the parish of Gulval about three miles north of Penzance and ten and a half miles from Land's End. It is in the granite …
The Cemetery-Cairn at Knockast
Notes on the Megalithic Monuments in the Isles of Scilly
In the years 1899, 1900, and 1901 Mr. George Bonsor, a British subject residing in Spain, visited the Scilly Isles, the archipelago of tiny granite islands 28 miles south-west of Land's End, for archaeological research. Mr. Bonsor was long a profound student of the archaeology of his adopted country and was interested in the history of the ancient tin trade. It was in this connexion that he visited the Scillies, for he wished to test the hypothes…
