Archaeologyby Walter Shepherd
Signet, 1966
Science students and laymen both will find this "detective story" about mankind's past as fascinating as it is informative. Clearly and without technical jargon, the author reveals what the archaeologist has learned about Stone Age man, his metal-working descendants, and the mighty civilizations of Egypt, Mesopotamia, the Far East and the Mediterranean.
Tools and weapons, pottery, art, homes, inscriptions, vast monuments -- all are examined in words and pictures.
Of special interest is a whole section on "Archaeology in America."
Throughout, the emphasis is on how the archaeologist works, complete with
guidelines on how the interested reader can participate in "digs."
