Abstract

The book is also thought provoking since it gives the reader the feeling that it could actually have turned out differently. If it had, what would archaeology be without the concepts of 'prehistory' and the 'Three Age System'? Would the subject exist as we know it today, or, to put it more dramatically, would it exist at all? REFERENCES
