Book excerpt: Excerpt from Prehistoric Thessaly: Being Some Account of Recent Excavations and Explorations in North-Eastern Greece From Lake Kopais to the Borders of Macedonia The present work is an attempt to collect in a convenient form all the archaeological evidence as yet available for the prehistoric period in North-Eastern Greece. Chapters I - X, which are purely descriptive, contain full accounts of our own excavations with a summary of the discoveries of others. These we hope will be of permanent value, but how far the theories put forward in the other chapters can be justified time alone can show. Our own excavations in North Greece have all been conducted under the aegis of the British School at Athens, of which we are students. Our publications in connection with them are as follows: 1907. "Excavations at Theotoku," A. J. B. W., J. P. Droop, B.S.A. XIII, pp. 309 ff. 1908. "Excavations at Zerelia," A. J. B. W., J. P. Droop, M. S. T., B.S.A. XIV, p. 197. "Early Civilisation in North Greece," A. J. B. W., J. P. Droop, M. S. T., Liverpool Annals, 1908, pp. 118 ff., 131 ff. "The Connection of the Aegean Civilisation with Central Europe," T. E. Peet, A. J. B. W., M. S. T., Classical Review, 1908, pp. 233 ff. 1909. "Excavations at Lianokladhi, and Tsani Maghula," A. J. B. W., M. S. T., Liverpool Annals, 1909, pp. 149 ff. "Prehistoric Mounds in Macedonia," A. J. B. W., M. S. T., ibid. pp. 159 ff. "The Connection of the Aegean Culture with Servia," M. S. T., A. J. B. W., Classical Review, 1909, pp. 209 ff. 1910. "Excavations at Tsangli, and Rakhmani," see Dawkins, J.H.S. 1910, p. 360; Reinach, Rev. Arch. 1910, II, pp. 429 ff. A paper containing an early draft of part of Chapter I was read at a meeting of the Research Committee of the Royal Geographical Society, and has been published in the Geographical Journal, Vol. XXXVII, pp. 631 ff. Of these publications those giving reports of our excavations are superseded by the present work, and the views expressed in the other papers are to be modified in accordance with Chapters XI - XVII and Appendix I. Mr Droop's enforced absence since 1909 has proved an irreparable loss. During our excavations at Lianokladhi and Tsani we were fortunate in having the assistance of Mr T. E. Peet, thanks to the generosity of the British School at Athens. As regards the transliteration of Ancient Greek we have followed the system recommended by the British School at Athens. According to this all Greek words and names are preserved in the Greek forms, and only those that are in common use are Latinised. It may be thought that we have Latinised too many names, but we think that the ordinary reader will recognise Chaeronea more easily than Chaironeia.
