Abstract
THE archaeologist justly ranks himself as a contributor to the world's knowledge on the same level as those who discover previously unknown forces in nature or new facts in the life-history of animals, extinct or living. Archaeology, which is a branch of the great science of anthropology, discovers and correlates new facts in the early history of civilisation. Greek archaeological discovery must always be of most especial interest, since it tells us of the origins of that early civilisation of the Mediterranean basin from which our present-day culture is derived. One of the most welcome yearly publications dealing with the subject is the “Annual of the British School at Athens,” the tenth volume of which lies before us. It deals with the British work of 1903-4, besides containing independent articles on matters of archaeological interest.
