Archaeology V Gordon Childe CL

By V. Gordon Childe

Although he died 36 years ago, V. Gordon Childe remains the world's most renowned prehistorian. His What Happened in History, which first appeared in 1942, is a widely read book, yet many of the theoretical ideas he promoted, as well as his interpretations of European and West Asian prehistory, have been profoundly modified, or even rejected, since his death. So why does his influence and reputation endure, and what is the relevance of his scholarly achievement to archaeology in the 1990s? It was this question that inspired the international conference that gave rise to this book. It took place at the University of London Institute of Archaeology (of which Childe was the first full-time Director) a century after his birth.
