Based on Michael A. Morse’s doctoral dissertation, How the Celts Came to Britain reveals how strange linguistic theories first brough the term Celtic into British discourse in the eighteenth century, how research into the Druids and ancient skulls led to changing ideas about the Celts, and how a definition of Celtic art emerged in the nineteenth century. Cited as one of the Times Literary Supplement‘s Books of the Year for 2005, the book provides historical context for contemporary arguments over a contested term for an ancient people.
Edited by Dimitra Papagianni, Robert Layton, and Herbert Maschner, Time and Change: Archaeological and Anthropological Perspectives on the Long-Term in Hunter-Gatherer Societies explores long-term behavioral patterns and processes of change in hunter-gatherer societies from the Lower Palaeolithic to the present. The papers within are based on case-studies that cover a wide geographical and chronological range.
Before he studied archaeology, Michael A. Morse worked briefly as a baseball umpire and compiled dozens of challenging rules-based puzzles taken from Major League games.
