Recent investigation of the old problem
of the diffusion of tin over eastern Eu-
rope and Asia Minor in prehistoric times
leads to the conclusion that about thou
sand years before Christ the tin OF the
British isles was carried overland to the
Egean sea. The invention of the anchor
led about 2,700 years ago TO the opening
of a marine route between England and
the eastern end of the Mediterranean.
and then the Phrygians controlled the tin
trade with their ships. The short sum.
