Abstract
AN important addition to the provision for archaeological research in the University of Oxford will be made by the election by Queen's College of a research student in archaeology at some time in June next. The field of research will be Spain, or some part of Spain, and the period under investigation will lie between the earliest Neolithic Age and 200 B.C. The period of tenure will be two years and the stipend £300 per annum. In view of the importance of Spain as a centre of culture, especially in the development of art, in later palaeolithic times, and of the desirability of a clearer understanding of its cultural relations in that and the succeeding mesolithic period, the restriction to the early neolithic period may appear open to comment; but no doubt it was held that these periods are at present sufficiently covered by those already concerned with the prehistoric archaeology of Europe generally, while development of the megalithic culture and the bronze and iron ages offer a no less fruitful and still to some extent uncultivated field to which attention may be directed to greater advantage in present conditions.
