About the Book

Written by the most authoritative scholars from around the world, a massive treasurehouse of information on all aspects of archaeology, from prehistory to the present day. Encyclopedia of Archaeology: History and Discoveries explores the archaeologists, sites, debates, techniques, methods, and issues that are central to the global practice of archaeology. Three richly illustrated volumes trace the development of the field from the ancient Greeks to the present day. Through detailed tours of major excavation sites from all over the world—Chichen Itza, Machu Picchu, Ephesus, Pompeii, the tomb of Tutankhamun—as well as more obscure sites like Brzesc Kujawski in Poland, readers gain an appreciation for the inherent challenges all archeologists share in locating, recovering and making sense of evidence of past human lives. The Histories and Discoveries volumes profile significant archaeologists, such as the indefatigable Gertrude Bell, an expert on Arab affairs during World War I and Iraq's director of antiquities in the 1920s. Additional entries ranging from the Dead Sea scrolls and rock art to techniques like dating and remote sensing round out this watershed in the history of archaeology.

About the Author :
Tim Murray is professor of archaeology at La Trobe University, Melbourne, Australia.

Review :
This three-volume work bridges a long-existing gap by successfully filling the space between scholarly and popular coverage. Maintaining both the format and level of excellence of its predecessor . . . additional contributors have produced a work that includes much more than just entries about archaeological sites. . . . This highly recommended work provides high-quality information in a manner that is accessible to the average reader and should be considered for purchase by all public and academic libraries. Essential reference tools for the history of anthropology in both general and research libraries. Libraries that purchased The Great Archaeologists will certainly want to add History and Discoveries to their collections. This reference source would be useful in a high school or college library for students doing research; the list of reference sources at the end of each article could be used to find additional information on a particular topic.
