Discovery in Greek Lands
First published in 1920, this work examines the principal archaeological discoveries made in Greece and nearby regions over a fifty-year period from the late nineteenth to the early twentieth century. Originally written for the Cambridge Manuals of Science and Literature series, the book describes excavations at temple sites, centres of Greek life, and isolated locales, covering both prehistoric and historic periods. The study is supplemented with numerous photographs and illustrations, a list of the most important excavations from 1870 to 1914, and a map of the principal sites discussed.
