The work presents a comprehensive examination of ancient lake-dwelling civilizations across Europe, focusing on their archaeological significance and the cultural implications derived from various excavations. Munro aims to provide a synthesized understanding of lake-dwellings, particularly for readers interested in archaeology and history. At the start of the book, the author reflects on his surprise when appointed to deliver the Rhind lectureship in Archaeology for 1888, which specifically compelled him to address the topic of lake-dwellings. He outlines his initial lack of knowledge about the subject beyond Scotland, recounts the challenges of gathering materials from various European sites, and describes his travels through central Europe to compile findings. Munro emphasizes the recent advancements in lake-dwelling research, highlighting numerous discoveries and the complexity of piecing together archaeological evidence from scattered findings across different museums and locations. His opening sets the stage for a detailed exploration of the subject, indicating his commitment to making the research accessible to a broader audience.
