Introduction to Archaeology by Abigail Wheatley

A fresh and exciting look at some of the world's most famous archaeological sites: the Valley of the Kings, Pueblos of North America, Stonehenge, ancient Athens and Rome, the Bible Lands and many more. Superbly illustrated with photographs, maps and diagrams, and a glossary and time line. With internet links to recommended websites with virtual tours and reconstructions and latest dig information. "Highly commended" in the Longman History Today New Generation Book of the Year Award.
Growing up in Australia and the UK, Abigail often found herself covered in paint or flour, or lost in a book. After a BA in English and a PhD on Medieval Castles, she combined her interests writing Usborne children's books - from cookery, craft and castles to science and unicorns.
