This unique historical & archeological guidebook to Portugal introduces the reader & traveller to the foundations of the modern state from the earliest period down to medieval times. The historical perspective is given tangible substance by the identification, description & location of historical sites that relate to the periods in question. The reader is presented with the important epochs in the early & formative history of the country & is guided to their in situ remains, which may take the form of Paleolithic rupestrian paintings, ancient Neolithic, Chalcolithic & Bronze Age fortified villages, tombs (dolmens, tholos, cists), Celtic (Iron Age) settlements or castros, Roman towns, villas & necropoli, Paleo-Christian churches & cemeteries, & Moslem castles. The book can be fruitfully employed as a field manual for travellers who are inclined to see all they can of the ancient heritage & as a handy reference for those who cannot visit the sites but wish to know more of what Portugal has to offer than can be found in other guidebooks. Much of the research of James M. Anderson, Ph.D., has focused on the ancient cultures & languages of the Iberian peninsula. He has resided in Spain & Portugal on & off for ten years & has often been sponsored by grants from the US & Canadian governments & The University of Calgary, Alberta, Canada. As guide & resource person, Professor Anderson has designed & accompanied numerous adult education tours both for The University of Calgary & for the University of British Columbia. ...
