For anyone interested in the past, the author expertly lays it out in educational format.

Thanks for the ARC.

Great introduction to archaeology. Includes basic knowledge of the tools and theories and also an interesting history on the subject of Archaeology itself.

An enjoyable journey through well known archaeological discoveries. For the teen market perhaps, rather than adults. Lots of fascinating photographs. Very educational.

Fans of Indiana Jones will enjoy this book! Archaeology has always fascinated the history nerd in me. Who wouldn't want to discover lost cities or treasures. This book explains the different pieces of equipment used in archaeology from the little hand tools to the high tech scanners. All the famous archaeological finds are described in here along with all the lesser known places and archaeologists. I was amazed at how many of the digs I already knew about.

An absolutely fascinating look at the history of archaeology, from evolving motivations for finding artifacts and civilizations, to improvements in methods, tools and science. The book includes sections on some of the most famous and most important finds around the world, including paintings/photographs and super interesting historical details. I found the tidbits about very recent discoveries the most interesting - a hidden, golden chamber beneath Macchu Picchu? Bones and artifacts from the time of Bouddica found beneath railway stations in London? SO AWESOME.

A fascinating and informative dive into the history of archeology. Great photos, but would have loved more of them.

This is a delightful introduction to archaeology. It covers the history of archaeology, some of the most famous sites, modern techniques and nearly every continent.

Gaynor Aaltonen has created a beautiful book full of breath taking imagines that capture the history and beauty of Archaeology. This is a must have book in anyone collection whether you are love archaeology or history this book is a beautiful addition to anyone library.
Thank you to the publisher and Netgalley for a copy

This book should be read by anyone with an interest in Archeology whether they are new to the subject or well versed in it. Why? Partly because its well written with great pictures illustrating the subject but also because its up to date with the latest discovers that have changed the landscape of archeology.

Nothing changes as quickly as our understanding of the past. For this reason its so refreshing to read this book which in a small space gives a great easy to read sweep in describing the subject. I recommend this as well worth the money because its a pleasant read but also because you will learn something new and will be intrigued by the possibilities that exist.

I read C.W. Ceram's books when I was a child and this book reminds of those book.
Well written, well reasearched and full of interesting and unsual facts. The Archeology history can be a sort of fantastic travel through ages and very interesting people.
I really liked and appreciated it. Recommended.
Many thanks to Arcturus Digital and Netgalley
