Here, Brian Fagan gathers together fifty-eight vivid accounts of the world's greatest archaeological discoveries, from the tomb of Tutankhamun and the Aegean Marbles to Otzi the Iceman and Macchu Picchu, told by the people who discovered them. The selections chronicle the development of the field, from the early 1700s when archaeology was little more than a lighthearted treasure hunt, to the late twentieth century when discoveries often come not only from spectacular excavations, but also from computer laboratories. Along with over fifty black-and-white illustrations and an eight-page color section, Fagan provides engaging, informative introductions to each selection, as well as an introduction to the volume that lays out the history of archaeology.
