{"product_id":"a-study-of-the-bronze-john-abercromby-9781108082563","title":"A Study of the Bronze Age Pottery of Great Britain and Ireland and Its Associated Grave-Goods","description":"The fifth Baron Abercromby (1841-1924), a soldier and keen archaeologist, published this two-volume work in 1912. His especial interest was prehistoric pottery, and he introduced the word 'beaker' as a term to indicate the late Neolithic\/Chalcolithic western European culture which produced these characteristic clay drinking vessels. His aim was to produce a chronological survey of British and Irish ceramics from the late Neolithic to the end of the Bronze Age, to classify these by type and geographical area, and to examine the goods associated with dateable pottery in burials and cremation urns. This heavily illustrated work also puts the British beakers into their European context and considers the possible indications of movements of people given by variations in style. Volume 2 discusses cinerary urns, and the grave goods, including the so-called 'pygmy urns', associated with them.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e John Abercromby\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1108082564\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781108082563\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cambridge University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/26\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 184\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.00lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.69h x 8.27w x 0.39d","brand":"John Abercromby","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46401273233663,"sku":"9781108082563","price":37.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_25808357-07db-4836-a3a1-7816515f2578.jpg?v=1733887233","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/a-study-of-the-bronze-john-abercromby-9781108082563","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
