Finding Time For the Old Stone Age explores a century of colourful debate over the age of our earliest ancestors. Anne O'Connor draws on a wealth of lively, personal correspondence to explain the nature of these arguments. The trails leads from Britain to Continental Europe, Africa and Asia, extending beyond the world of professors, museum curators and officers of the Geological Survey to wine sellers, paper makers and clerks who also proposed timescales for the Palaeolithic, defended their views in publications and privayte letters, excavated caves and fought forgers of stone tools i the gravel pits of London. This book brings many of their stories to light for the first time ? stories that offer an intriguing nsight into how knowledge was built up about the ancient British past. 423 pages.
