by Stiebing Jr., William H

Despite popular portrayals, many archaeologists today covet knowledge rather than objects in their goal to understand vanished peoples and cultures. This absorbing nontechnical history focuses on the various phases archaeology as a discipline has moved through since its beginnings in the Renaissance. More than 80 illustrations, photos, and maps.
