page 237 note 6 Though Professor Childe has recently pointed out (in a letter to the Times on July 25th, 1953) that the constructional and optical refinements of Stonehenge are not themselves paralleled in Mycenaean architecture, it is surely more fitting to see them as the product of the relatively sophisticated civilization of Mycenae, rather than of the essentially barbarous, even if commercially successful, aristocracy of our native Wessex Culture.
