The thrilling story of archaeological adventure, and astonishing discoveries around the globe

Archaeology tells the story of our ancestors: how they lived, what they believed in and how their cultures developed over millennia. Brian Fagan introduces us to pharaohs' tombs, Mayan ruins, the first colonial settlements at Jamestown, mysterious Stonehenge, and Pompeii - the city buried by volcanic ash in AD 79.

This Little History tells the riveting stories of great archaeologists and their amazing discoveries around the world. For readers of every age, this book explores archaeology's history of controversies, discoveries, heroes and scoundrels, global sites and newest methods.
