I. H. Longworth, Prehistoric Britain (British Museum)

I. H. Longworth, Prehistoric Britain. London: British Museum Publications, 1985.

Square format paperback, stiff card wraps, 72 pages, well-illustrated.

Good condition.

A scholarly but accessible introduction - precisely what one would expect from such an august institution as the BM.

'From the time that man first set foot in Britain to the Roman invasion in AD 43 is a period spanning over a quarter of a million years. These saw the transformation of Britain from being part of the Continental landmass to the islands we know today. This book outlines some of the many changes that took place in society and technology over this period and is lavishly illustrated with material drawn from the British Museum collections.

... Dr Longworth is Keeper of Prehistoric & Romano-British Antiquities in the British Museum and a former Secretary of the Society of Antiquaries of London.'
