''Folk Memory or The Continuity of British Archaeology'' by Walter Johnson is a scholarly book that explores the concept of ''folk memory'' and its role in British archaeology. The author argues that the memories and traditions of ordinary people, passed down through generations, can provide valuable insights into the history and culture of a society. Drawing on a wide range of archaeological evidence, Johnson examines the ways in which folk memory has influenced the development of British archaeology over the centuries. He also explores the role of folklore, legends, and myths in shaping our understanding of the past. This book is an important contribution to the field of archaeology and will be of interest to anyone interested in the history and culture of Britain.1908. Only one small corner of archeology is explored within this volume. To marshal truths accurately and to collate a few new facts are the objects of this book. Here are set down the results of the spare time of years spent in tramping the country to investigate ancient churches, earthworks, roads and monuments; in searching for stone implements; in jotting down notes concerning customs and folklore; in visiting British and Continental museums, in studying diligently the best archaeological authorities. Sample contents: folk memory, its nature and scope; continuity of the ages of stone and bronze; later history of the megaliths; reputed virtues of iron; dene-holes; linchets; dew-ponds; old roads and trackways; and much more.
