Unearthing the past; the great archaeological discoveries that have changed history.
Science writer Palmer (Cambridge U.) describes a selection of influential archaeological discoveries over the past centuries in sections on prehistoric ancestors of humans; tombs and burial sites; cities and dwelling places; art, intellect, and religion; war and human conflict; and migration and colonization. A final section looks at methodologies of archeology. Color photographs abound. (Annotation ©2007 Book News Inc. Portland, OR)
