From inner front flap of dustjacket: "Canon William Greenwell (1820-1918) was the leading antiquary and archaeological collector of his age. Among his many activities he was the excavator of over 300 prehistoric burial sites in Britain. The finds from these, together with material collected from a wide variety of sources, have long been recognised as fundamental to the growing understanding of British pre-history. This volume represents the first detailed catalogue with full illustration of the finds from over 400 barrows, both grave-groups and incidental discoveries. The objects are mainly of Bronze Age date, but substantial quantities of both Neolithic and Iron Age artefacts are included. Supplementary information includes an historical appraisal of Greenwell as antiquary and detailed indices and tabulation of analytical data. Much material is illustrated for the first time, and both illustrations and catalogue represent a definitive publication of a crucial collection". Large format volume.
