Abstract
IN Merchant Venturers in Bronze “the authors of The Corridors of Time” have now come to the early and middle bronze age. At the beginning of this period, somewhere about 1900 B.C., the fall of Hissarlik, as they interpret the evidence, caused a dislocation of the trading activities radiating from the Troad, but by no means interrupted the spread of a knowledge of bronze. The argument for the localised development of culture already put forward, in the case of outlying areas visited for the supply of metal, is here carried further in its application to western Europe.
