Overview
Archaeology is the scientific study of peoples of the past, to discover how humans once interacted with each other and to record and preserve this history for analysis and future learning. This beautiful book provides a directory of the most famous explorers, adventurers and devoted scientists who have shaped the history of archaeology. The book focuses on the forty-seven great men and women who have been responsible for the most important discoveries in our history. It is presented in three accessible sections: Founders of Archaeology; Pioneers of Archaeology; and Modern Archaeologists. In each section, there are fascinating portraits of famous names, such as Hiram Bingham who brought Machu Picchu to the attention of the world; Rhys Jones who reshaped the chronology of Australia's prehistory and advanced our knowledge of the aboriginal culture; Harald Pager who meticulously recorded thousands of African cave paintings; Heinrich Schliemann, the exavator of Troy; and Howard Carter, the discoverer of Tutankhamen's tomb. Lavishly illustrated throughout with over 180 photographs, this fascinating and enthralling book will bring the excitement of historical discoveries to life.
