| Summary: | The Stone – Bronze – Iron framework for ordering archaeological
artifacts and epochs emerged in Denmark and southern Sweden in the years 1835–43, and is
justly considered one of the defining developments in the origins of archaeology. Some
of the crucial documents appeared in English in the mid-19th century. Anglophone

originals they are now scarce and often cannot be tracked down by the more general
reader. |
