Thirty years after Glyn Daniel's perceptive publication on the 'idea of prehistory' (Daniel 1962), the topic is enjoying a return engagement in the archaeological literature. Not only have the sources of the words for 'prehistory' been traced in various languages (Chippindale 1988; Clermont & Smith 1990). but a new nuance has been added to the word 'idea'. In the new chapters added to the re-issue of Daniel's book, Renfrew uses the phrase 'idea of prehistory' to mean 'a picture of the past' or a 'reconstruction of the past' (Daniel & Renfrew 1988: 198, 203). In other words, Renfrew has subtly shifted the meaning of 'idea' from the concept of a time of human existence before the advent of written history, as I perceive Daniel originally used it, to an interpretation of what went on in that time period
