Condition: Fine. First edition hard back binding in publisher's original navy buckram covered boards, blocked and lettered gilt back. 8vo. 10'' x 8''. The monument includes a Late Bronze | Early Iron Age palisaded hilltop enclosure situated on a natural chalky knoll half way down the northern scarp of the Wolds in Knapton Plantation. Separated from the main ridge of the Wold by a deep ravine, the steep-sided knoll rises to 115m above sea level and is a naturally defensive spot with commanding views over the Vale of Pickering and the Carrs. The Wolds are known to be rich in prehistoric remains, including Bronze and Iron Age linear earthworks and Early Bronze Age burial mounds. Although the exposed and practically soil-less hilltop bears no visible traces of the prehistoric settlement, the below-ground remains of the palisadedefences and some internal structures were identified during Thomas Cape Mason Brewster's excavations in the 1950s. Subsequent to the excavations, concrete markers were inserted into the backfilled foundation pits of these structures to indicate their position and a footpath was constructed up the west side of the knoll to assist visitors' access. Brewster's excavations revealed that the earliest defences comprised a relatively lightly built stockade near the top of the knoll and with three minor entrances in addition to a main gateway on the south side. This palisade was later replaced with a stronger one, located further down the slope, on a line approximating to the 111m contour. The later defences were remodelled on at least one occasion and comprised a stout timber revetment packed behind with chalk. The southern entrance was maintained throughout the life of the settlement but, presumably to increase the security of the enclosure, only one entrance existed in the later phase. The internal structures included the post-holes, hearths and floor surfaces of three huts, and the foundations of a rectangular timber granary, raised on stilts. Among the finds from the site were bronze razors of the 'Hallstatt C' type, objects of jet, bone and antler, Bronze and Iron Age pottery, clay spindle whorls and loom weights. Fragmentary human remains were also found. Contains colour frontispiece, small colour vignette to title, (iv), 161 pp (+ i) with 39 plates including maps + 95 figures throughout, triptych folding excavation plan to the rear.

Penciled on front paste down: If lost, please return to Miss Shirley Berliner 214 Ross St. B'klyn 11 N.Y. "I Pity the river, I pity the brook, I pity the person who steals this book. June 12 Shirely Berliner" . This is a traditional flyleaf rhyme. Other versions, Sarah does not use, are: "This book is one thing, my fist is another, touch this one thing, you'll sure feel the other." And: "Steal not this book for fear of life, for the owner carries a butcher knife." On back pastedown her name and address is repeated but the Hebrew version is added: "Sarah Berliner. Beit Midrash leMorot" Based on the zip code, Sarah (Shirley) wrote this between 1943 and 1963. She was apparently studying to be a teacher in Jewish School.

Zevi Scharfstein was a prolific Hebrew-language educator, writer, and publishing entrepreneur who authored 423 works in 698 publications. He was one of the leading Jewish educators in the U.S. and his Hebrew instructional materials were in very wide use. His c. 100 Hebrew textbooks for children were still deemed classics in Hebrew schools half a century after they were first published. Scharfstein was educated as a child by private tutors. He was born in the Podolia region of the Russian Empire, in present-day Ukraine. During his childhood, he was strongly influenced by the Haskalah movement, and the movement's emphasis on childhood education and the development of a contemporary Hebrew press shaped his life and career. After witnessing the violence of pogroms, followed by the World War I, he immigrated to the United States, where he soon founded a monthly magazine for children, Shaharut (Youth), published by the Bureau of Jewish Education in New York City, Shaharut's original mission was to teach Jewish topics and Hebrew language. After the 1917 Balfour Declaration, the periodical shifted to short stories and articles about Jewish life in Eretz Israel. Scharfstein also joined the Bureau of Jewish Education, founded by noted American Hebraist Samson Benderly. In th early 1920s he founded Shilo Publishing House with the help of his brother, Asher. Controlling his own press and going to market with his own materials freed Scharfstein from the limitations of working within the existing philosophical, pedagogical, and financial power structures of the Hebraist movement. He became, in effect, a teacher of teachers. One of his first books was emblematic of his mission: Sipurei ha-Torah li-yeladim (Torah Stories for Children).
