摘要：Appeared in the Archeology series of the publishing house, the volume has the character of a academically course, being presented by the author, in the Argumentum, that opens the work, as a “modest attempt to guide the steps of the students and everyone interested on the path full of obstacles of knowing the most distant past of mankind”. The first chapter, Prehistory - start of history (p. 7-20) wants to familiarize the reader with general and methodological problems tied to its study: it presented a short history of the various definitions and manners of approach of the historical study of the beginnings of human society together with their most representative figures. After a general chronology of the discussed period, the author continues with a general look over the interdisciplinary demarche, necessary for studying thoroughly the different aspects of prehistory. In the next parts of the first chapter are enumerated and defined the main connected disciplines with the way that they interact, having as final goal a deeper knowledge of the remote past of mankind.
