ARCHAEOLOGY AN ILLUSTRATED ENCYCLOPEDIA

The key sites, those who discovered them, and how to become an archaeologist

Christopher Catling and Paul Bahn

The ultimate resource for the amateur, student or volunteer archaeologist as well as a fascinating reference guide for those interested in the world’s greatest archaeological finds and those who discovered them.

The opening section explores the many specialized fields of archaeology, from forensics to the deciphering of ancient languages. The techniques involved are explained, from the initial surface sampling of a site to the post excavation practices.

The book then looks in detail at the people who have been responsible for many of the discoveries, with profiles of pioneers such as Heinrich Schliemann, the excavator of Troy, and Howard Carter, the discoverer of Tutankhamen’s tomb.

The next section explores the world’s greatest archaeological discoveries, from the Blombos Cave to the Pyramids of Giza, Persepolis and Petra, Pompeii, Lascaux, Stonehenge, the Heuneburg, and ancient sites in the Far East, Oceania and the Americas.

About the Authors:

Christopher Catling writes for the Institute of Field Archaeology, the Society of Antiquaries, and English Heritage.

Paul Bahn is a writer, editor and translator of books on archaeology. He has held post-doctoral fellowships at Liverpool and London, and a J. Paul Getty fellowship in the History of Art.
