In this book, the author, one of the most celebrated archaeologists, seeks a "rapprochement" between the traditionally conflicting methodologies of the classical archaeologist and the prehistorian. He examines the social and economic systems of barbarian Europe in relation to Greco-Roman civilization and chronicles its development from 600 BC to the fifth century. The book incorporates much new research and includes the results of the author's own excavations at sites such as Hengistbury. The author has directed excavations at Winchester, Fishbourne, Bath, and Danebury and is well known for his BBC broadcasts.
