From Genesis to Prehistory

Discover the intriguing exploration of the Three Age System in Peter Rowley-Conwy's compelling book, From Genesis to Prehistory. Published by Oxford University Press in 2007, this hardback edition spans 384 pages and delves into the archaeological division of history into the Stone, Bronze, and Iron Ages, a concept first introduced in Denmark during the 1830s.

Rowley-Conwy expertly examines the reasons behind the seamless acceptance of this system in Scandinavia, contrasting it with the fierce debates it sparked in Britain and Ireland, which continued until the 1870s. This book is an essential read for anyone interested in archaeological theory, antiquities, and the historical narratives of Great Britain and Ireland.
