Grave Mounds And Their Contents: A Manual Of Archaeology, As Exemplified In The Burials Of The Celtic, The Romano-British, And The Anglo-Saxon Periods (1870) is a comprehensive guide to the study of grave mounds and the artifacts found within them. Written by Llewellynn Jewitt, a prominent archaeologist of the 19th century, the book explores the burial practices of three different cultures: the Celts, the Romano-British, and the Anglo-Saxons.The book begins with an overview of the history of grave mounds and their significance in ancient cultures. Jewitt then goes on to describe the various types of grave mounds, including round barrows, long barrows, and cairns. He also provides detailed descriptions of the artifacts found within these mounds, such as pottery, jewelry, weapons, and even human remains.The second half of the book focuses on specific examples of grave mounds and their contents from each of the three cultures. Jewitt provides detailed descriptions and illustrations of each artifact, along with historical context and analysis. He also includes information on the excavation process and the challenges faced by archaeologists in uncovering these ancient burial sites.Overall, Grave Mounds And Their Contents is an invaluable resource for anyone interested in the study of archaeology, ancient cultures, or the history of burial practices. Jewitt's meticulous research and detailed descriptions provide a fascinating glimpse into the lives and beliefs of our ancestors.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
