In this chapter I trace the further development of prehistoric archaeology in the context of the production of racial, ethnic, or national prehistories, in sum, the further development of culture history. These culture historical prehistories are thought to be quite different forms of prehistory writing to the general works of prehistoric synthesis represented by the work of Lubbock (1882, 1971) Tylor (1870), and to those by anthropologists with a more pronounced leaning to the physical rather than the mental.
