"It was only possible in the course of the four reprintings of the original edition of this book to insert minor changes and corrections. In preparing this new edition I have taken the opportunity to effect a radical overhaul, taking account of the progress of archaeological publication and of my own opportunities for travel and reflection during the period since 1961. Although the same basic plan has been preserved, the result, apart from the two chapters concerned with Europe, is virtually a new book."
