Focusing on sites of key significance and the world’s first
civilizations, Ancient Lives is an accessible and engaging textbook
which introduces complete beginners to the fascinating worlds of
archaeology and prehistory. Drawing on their impressive combined
experience of the field and the classroom, the authors use a
jargon-free narrative style to enliven the major developments of
more than 3 million years of human culture. First introducing the
basic principles, methods, and theoretical approaches of
archaeology, the book then provides a summary of world prehistory
from a global perspective. This latest edition provides an
up-to-date account of human evolution and the origins of modern
humans. It explores the reality of life in the prehistoric world.
Later chapters describe the development of agriculture and animal
domestication, and the emergence of cities, states, and
preindustrial civilizations in widely separated parts of the world.
Our knowledge of these is changing thanks to revolutionary
developments in LIDAR (light detection and ranging) technology and
other remote-sensing devices. With this new edition updated to
reflect the latest discoveries and research in the discipline,
Ancient Lives continues to be a comprehensive and essential
introduction to archaeology. It will be ideal for students looking
for an accessible guide to the subject.
