From Genesis to Prehistory

- The Archaeological Three Age System and its Contested Reception in Denmark, Britain, and Ireland

About From Genesis to Prehistory

The now familiar Three Age System, the archaeological partitioning of the past into Stone, Bronze, and Iron Ages, was conceived in Denmark in the 1830s. Peter Rowley-Conwy investigates the reasons why the system was adopted without demur in Scandinavia, yet was the subject of a bitter and protracted contest in Britain and Ireland up to the 1870s.
