ABSTRACT SERIOUS students of ancient history are fully aware that the narratives which have been preserved by professional historians are usually so eclectic and so meagre in many important
details that they require to be largely supplemented by other data before the full significance of the events can be appreciated. The spade of the archæologist has provided innumerable
documents of the greatest historical importance which serve to supplement the imperfection of the written record, and the observations and measurements of the physical anthropologist have to
be called into evidence as well as the comparative studies of the ethnologist. The historian who ignores archæology, physical anthropology and ethnology deprives himself of the most
voluminous of historical documents which lead, when carefully studied, to accurate conclusions. Thus alone can written records be established. Access through your institution Buy or
