Synopsis
This book describes the evolution of archaeology, examines the great discoveries which have revolutionized our concept of man's development, and shows how seemingly insignificant fragments of the past can be made to yield their secrets. The book is divided into two major sections. The first, ARCHAEOLOGY AT WORK, defines what archaeology : it discusses the survival of artifacts, monuments and cities, and reveals how sites can be located even when only the most tenuous evidence for their existence is available. Surveying, excavation, dating, restoration, publication of discoveries and exhibition are also examined in detail. The second part of the book, THE RECOVERY OF THE PAST, is devoted to the cultures and civilizations of former times, to the great cities, monuments, gorgeous palaces and fantastic tombs that were in some cases concealed by the dust, ashes or jungle of centuries, and in others visibly present but waiting through the ages (for discovery).
