Synopsis
History lies beneath our feet and in the landscapes around us. In contrast to the history that comes from studying texts, archaeology is the study of history through objects, monuments, and other traces of past lives: history that extends beyond the earliest writings into the deep past, revealing the varied pathways that led to the present, and the challenges - often similar to those we face today - that confronted our ancestors. Ann Stahl argues that archaeology is unique in its focus on the everyday lives of all peoples in all places and times. From ancient temples to humble homes, archaeologists piece together worlds that would otherwise be lost: knowledge that shows us how routine actions have shaped societies, how and why societies have changed in light of environment, politics, and culture - and perhaps what the future holds for our societies too. Using compelling examples from a storied international career, Stahl provides the perfect summary of why archaeology is both a vitally important and enjoyable subject to study.

I bought the book to donate to the Bo Brown Memorial Gay & Lesbian Collection in the Sterne Library & Archives at the University of Alabama in Birmingham where I'm positive it will make a great addition to the collection . . . BUT . . . I CAN say that the seller did a great job in handling this transaction. Book was carefully packaged & was promptly shipped - - - and was just as described . . . so there's that :-} Thanks!
