This reprint of the 1970 edition contains the entire catalogue and introductory materials as did the original, which was published in conjunction with an exhibition of the same name. Piggott
(retired, archaeology, U. of Edinburgh) assembled artifacts from museums and collectors in 12 countries for the exhibit, including ornaments and adornments, weapons, coins, and practical
objects; all are listed with cataloguing and descriptive information and some are illustrated in black-and-white. This book may be particularly useful for scholars in locating particular
objects, for lenders are listed with the objects, though some of the cataloguing information may be out of date in light of more recent research. Annotation 穢2008 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
