“…While generally reflective of the regard in which Abbott's material was held, this may well attest to the specific influence of O.C.S. Crawford, who was appointed the Survey's first Archaeology Officer in 1920 and was obviously familiar with the Fengate finds (eg, Crawford 1912). In their preparation of tbe 1927 map, the Survey's field workers would have visited Pererborough and probably inrerviewed Abbott iu the compilation of rheir record cards 3 .…”

This paper presents findings within Wyman Abbott's long-missing notebooks and other allied archival sources relating to his Fengate fieldwork during the early decades of the 20th century. Largely focusing upon its monuments, we here publish a manuscript concerned with his extraordinary, multiple-interment 'great' ringditch which is otherwise known from a paragraph's description in Hawkes and Fell's Antiquaries Jourual paper of 1945. Not only do these sources contribute to the further reconstruction of Fengate's renowned Bronze Age landscape, but, it is argued, the centralised multiple-lineage interment evident at his main ring-ditch site may well reflect upon the social organisation which also gave rise to Pryor's equally 'special' Flag Fen platform.

“…C. Crawford, 1886Crawford, -1957 (Crawford 1912). Iako Kraford u ovom radu kulturu ne definiše jasno (ali v. Jones 1997, 17), niti se poziva na Kosinu, 8 očigledno je da pod pojmom kulture podrazumeva nekoliko elemenata, između ostalog keramiku (zvonaste pehare, bell beaker), ravne keltove (flat celts) i antropološke ostatke u kojima prepoznaje "visoku, okrugoglavu rasu", a ovaj "tip" Kraford je mogao "zapaziti" i danas u okolini Oksforda.…”

Počeci mapiranja kultura u evropskoj arheologijio susretu vremena i prostoraApstrakt: Praistorijska arheologija ima svoje korene u različitim praksama i naukama: antikvarstvu, prirodnoj istoriji, geologiji, filologiji i tako dalje. Krajem XIX veka u arheologiji se formiraju glavni konceptualni alati, između ostalih i "bazični blok" -arheološka kultura. Identifikovanje prostorne dimenzije arheoloških kultura u velikoj meri je povezano sa inovacijama u bliskim disciplinama kakva je bila antropogeografija, čiji je osnivač Fridrih Racel (Friedrich Ratzel), ali i s generalnim razvojem kartografije koja se pokazuje kao korisno i "objektivno" oruđe u mapiranju evropskih nacionalnih država i različitih etničkih ili lingvističkih zajednica. Fridrih Racel je sopstvene ideje zasnovao na učenjima Morica Vagnera (Moritz Wagner), geografa, putopisca i istraživača i njegovom "Zakonu o migracijama" koji je Vagner zamislio kao dopunu Darvinove teorije evolucije. Inovativna metoda mapiranja kultura ali i migracionizam ostale su trajne oznake Racelove antropogeografije ali i "škole kulturnih krugova". Primeri iz arheologije nemačkog govornog područja nedvosmisleno prikazuju na koji je način vizualizacija arheoloških kultura uticala i na samo tumačenje praistorije u Evropi.Ključne reči: arheološka kultura, istorija arheologije, centralnoevropska arheologija, antropogeografija, kartografija, kulturni krugovi Uvod U sećanju mi je ostalo da je tokom perioda osnovnog obrazovanja jedan od najvažnijih pomoćnih udžbenika bio istorijski atlas. U odnosu na "suvoparni" udžbenik iz istorije, gde su se vladajuće dinastije i ratovi smenjivali na sitno otkucanim stranama propraćeni ponekom crno-belom fotografijom ili reprodukcijom slike, istorijski atlas je izgledao kao pravo osveženje. Na raznobojnim kartama iz različitih perioda mogao sam po prvi put sagledati istoriju, koja je zahvaljujući njima prestala da bude samo niz nepovezanih događaja koji suštinski nemaju veze sa mojim dečačkim životom. Naročito mi je ostala u sećanju karta perioda ranog srednjeg veka, i rasporeda "naroda" posle velikih turbulentnih događaja koji su označili "propast Rimskog carstva". Tako sam po prvi put mogao videti prošlost, mogao sam videti "kretanja naroda", "zakonitost" istorijskih procesa vizualizovanu u prostoru. Nešto kasnije, vrlo slične istorijske mape su se poja-

“…1 The trade routes which are suggested by our map of Britain, will be better understood when the distributions of all flat and flanged axes are studied, and we may leave this task to Miss Chitty who has prepared the necessary maps. Crawford (20) and Peake (46) have already noted the course prqbably followed by the traders in bronze from Tremadoc Bay to the South Coast at or near Christchurch, Hants, and perhaps to Chichester. Other routes have been indicated by Miss Chitty-a branch from the Severn across Titterstone Clee, and by way of Castle Bryn Amlwg and the Carno Gap to the Dyfi Basin (12) ; and by Kitson Clark-from the Yorkshire Wolds through the Aire Gap (35 a).…”

“…Ireland, and East Scotland-few copper deposits are known, whereas in the districts where copper or tin are known to exist in some quantity no moulds have been recorded except for the single example from Cornwall (31), one each from Northumberland and Carnarvon, and two from Durham. The maps of Cfawford (20) and Childe (IOA) 2 show where some Type I axes, of copper or bronze, were made, but apart from a few scattered finds there is no indication of the sources of axes with cast flanges.…”

“…The distribution of our ornamented axes must be considered in conjunction with that of halberds (45) and lunulae (18,20). There are no finds of ornamented axes associated with the latter of these types, and only one with halberds (Dieskau), yet it is clear from their mutual association with other objects that they belong in part at least to the same age.…”

It is intended in this paper to describe briefly the occurrence and, to a limited extent, the variety of ornamented metal axes belonging to the earlier part of the British and Irish Bronze Age, rather than to publish the results of an exhaustive study, such as the present writers have had no opportunity of making. The present aim is to indicate in a general way the importance of these axes in the material culture of our Bronze Age, and that of Western and Northern Europe. The objects themselves have been well discussed up to a point by Wilde (51) and Evans (23), but without special consideration of the significance of their distribution and associations.These ornamented axes, which are of the ‘flat’ or ‘flanged’ type, are apparently all of bronze. Some analyses have been made (3, 27, 42), but without spectrographic examination (48) it is difficult to draw any definite conclusions as to the source of the ores used or the place of manufacture. Open moulds for casting axes of the ‘flat’ form (e.g. pl. LIII, c, d) have been found in various parts of the British Isles, and their distribution is discussed on page 287.
