  ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

  Ben Hayes of Reaktion Books motivated me to write this book, and I am very grateful for his encouragement and prodding. Over 25 years ago, Paul Bahn encouraged me to break out from my narrow interests in early European farmers in Poland and write short pieces for a general audience. The cumulative results of these efforts helped shape the discussion of many sites and finds described in this book. For over thirty years, Pam Crabtree has been an esteemed colleague who has kept me up to date on discoveries in the later prehistory of western Europe. Our collaboration on Ancient Europe, 8000 BC–AD 1000: An Encyclopedia of the Barbarian World (New York, 2004) and our teaching together at Princeton in the late 1980s enabled me to obtain a broad overview of the Bronze Age and Iron Age societies outside my own research interests. Vince Poor, as dean of the School of Engineering and Applied Science at Princeton University, where I work, encouraged my participation in archaeological scholarship and supported my attendance at conferences. Traci Miller, through meticulous attention to the demands of our office, enabled me to divert my attention occasionally from my deanly responsibilities to write and think. Our student assistants Erin O’Hearn and Alev Baysoy helped compile lists of sites, check references and mark editorial queries. It has been a pleasure to work with cartographer Sebastian Ballard on the preparation of the maps. Amy Salter and Jess Chandler saw the book through the editorial process with exacting attention to detail. Finally, I must acknowledge the support of my family: my wife Virginia and daughters Caroline and Marianna, who have accompanied me on visits to many sites mentioned in this book. In fact, the proposal for this book was drafted in a hotel room in Washington, DC, while Caroline was downstairs with Marianna and Ginny getting ready for her wedding to C. J. Cross later that afternoon. Little did they know that, upstairs, The Barbarians were astir!
