Archaeology and Humanity's Story by Olszewski

Archaeology and Humanity's Story by Olszewski

This student-friendly textbook introduces the archaeological past from approximately seven million years ago through later politically complex societies. Archaeology and Humanity's Story presents the key issues from earlier prehistory before organizing chapters around nine cases of politically complex societies, allowing students to easily compare and contrast different geographical regions.

"This is a thorough, engaging, and compellingly illustrated treatment of the human experience as it has played out in material culture around the worldThe organization is excellent and the content is covered adequately, but not in too much detail. I will adopt, as it matches perfectly the way I run my course."--Charles R. Riggs, Fort Lewis College "This text has a refreshing approach and good updated materials with broad coverage of Old and New Worlds. The first chapter provides an excellent start for any introductory course in archaeology. Coverage of elementary procedures as well as clear explanation of theoretical concepts and some of the more complex dating methods, for instance, are executed beautifully."--Ellis E. McDowell-Loudan, The State University of New York, Cortland
