Ancient Civilizations offers a comprehensive and straightforward
account of the world's first civilizations and how they were
discovered, drawing on many avenues of inquiry including
archaeological excavations, surveys, laboratory work, highly
specialized scientific investigations, and both historical and
ethnohistorical records. This book covers the earliest
civilizations in Eurasia and the Americas, from Egypt and the
Sumerians to the Indus Valley, Shang China, and the Maya. It also
addresses subsequent developments in Southwest Asia, moving on to
the first Aegean civilizations, Greece and Rome, the first states
of sub-Saharan Africa, divine kings and empires in East and
Southeast Asia, and the Aztec and Inka empires of Mesoamerica and
the Andes. It includes a number of features to support student
learning: a wealth of images, including several new illustrations;
feature boxes which expand on key sites, finds, and written
sources; and an extensive guide to further reading. With new
perceptions of the origin and collapse of states, including a
review of the issue of sustainability, this fifth edition has been
extensively updated in the light of spectacular new discoveries and
the latest theoretical advances. Examining the world's
pre-industrial civilizations from a multidisciplinary perspective
and offering a comparative analysis of the field which explores the
connections between all civilizations around the world, this volume
provides a unique introduction to pre-industrial civilizations in
all their brilliant diversity. It will prove invaluable to students
of Archaeology.
