The Adventure of Archaelogy (Used Hardcover) - Brian M. Fagan

Filled with black and white and color photos, The Adventure of Archaeology tells the story of how the science of archaeology came into being--a compelling tale of tourists and treasure hunters, of strong-minded adventurers, of patient excavators laboring alone, of teams of scholars trekking into the desert or diving into the deep. In these pages you will witness the discovery of forgotten civilizations--the Assyrians and Sumerians of Mesopotamia, the Minoans of Crete, The Harappans of the Indus Valley, the Olmec of Mexico.
