Generaly speaking, the whole ceramic material of the Bronze Age is presented to the student as being nearly on the same plane. Hardly any attempt is made to discriminate between earlier and later forms ; and when this has been done, the true chronological order has sometimes been inverted. Considering the great duration of the Bronze Age, such a presentation of the subject is unsatisfactory. If sufficient light wer thrown upon it, this ceramic material would be seen in perspective, in a series of planes ranging back from the foreground to the extreme distance in an orderly manner.
