Finding the Lost Cities by Rebecca Stefoff

This work recounts the search for 12 ancient cities by travellers and archaeologists. The cities - Petra, Ninevah, Hattusha, Copan, Chaco Canyon, Angkor, Troy, Zimbabwe, Knossos, Gournia, Machu Picchu and Ur - are each placed in the context of the civilizations they represent and provide evidence about the life, times and habits of the peoples who lived there. Illustrated with photographs of the discoveries and the excavations themselves, this book provides an introduction to archaeology - the excitement, frustration and the dedicated characters, whose roles were crucial in unravelling the truth.
