520 _aTells the story of modern archeology from its earliest beginning to the present through 50 chronologically arranged profiles of iconic excavation-from the DEad Sea Scrolls to the Death Pit of Ur, from Machu Picchu to the Mary Rose, and from Hexone to Hallstat. Some of the discoveries of the Swahbuckling lype-lost tombs filled with precious artifacts-but others consist of bricks and pieces of flint and pottery which have, in the story they tell, proved yet rare and more valuble. Broken pots and test-tubes of ancient pollen can, after all be just as much treasure as the mask of Tutankhamun, for they tell a part of the story and they help man understands who he is and how he got here. Each site is accompanied by boxed features shedding light on the archeological techniques used then and now, describing the cultures that have been discovered and telling the personal stories of the people who discovered them. Helpful locator maps informative timelineare included for every site. Profiled sites include: Angkor Wat
