The history of the analysis and classification of British Beakers between I870-I960
is toa well known to need any lengthy restatemenJ here. This complex 'tradition' has
been summarised and restated i
,
n a more modem guise by Professor Piggott in his
recent paper (I963). All that I wish to do at this stage is to emphasise four salient
features underlying the current classification of British Beaker material:
i. Abercromby's scheme of 'A, B, C,' beaker groups (Abereromby, I9I2, p. I8) was
based on the "excellent" system of division by shape variation devised by Thumam
(I87I). The British Beakers were basically separated into three groups according to
their shape alone - "ovoid cups with recurved rims", "low brimmed cups" and "high
brimmed cups". Thurnam's 'eventually Piggott's 'Long neck, Bell and Short neck' Beaker groups. In these schemes
the decoration, motifs and zonal styles of the Beakers are not integrated into the
process of classification, merely being described for the classes aiready defined by
shape alone. This faet makes these schemes, or rather scheme, completely at variance
with modem ethnological/archaeological thought.
