Produktbeschreibung

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online.Vere Gordon Childe (14 April 1892 19 October 1957) was an Australian philologist by training who later specialised in archaeology. Usually known as just Gordon Childe, he was perhaps best known for his excavation of the unique Neolithic site of Skara Brae in Orkney and for his Marxist views which influenced his thinking about prehistory. He is also credited with coining the terms "Neolithic Revolution" and "Urban Revolution". He was one of the great archaeological synthesizers attempting to place his discoveries inside a theory of prehistoric development on a wider European and world scale. Childe was born in 1892 in Sydney, New South Wales. He was educated at Sydney Church of England Grammar School (Shore) and the University of Sydney. He obtained a B. A in 1914. He then went to Britain to attend the Queen''s College at the University of Oxford and was awarded a B. Litt. in 1916 and a B. A. in 1917.
