Byways in British Archaeology - Walter Johnson - Paperback Bog - Cambridge University Press - 2011 - Engelsk - Booktok.dk

Description

Johnson's detailed and enthusiastically written 1912 history of Britain's churches and their churchyards emphasises the concept of 'folk memory', a diminishing means of recalling and understanding the past. The study looks at material archaeological discoveries whilst addressing the significance of place names, site orientation, folktales and pagan prehistory.
