Digging for Lost African Gods: The Record of Five Years Archaeological Excavation in North Africa

This is Prorok's first book. It covers his 1921 excavations at Carthage, his deep-sea diving (in the huge old headgear) for a sunken city off Djerba, his look at Roman villas at Utica, and his thousand-mile drive in custom-made, six-wheel Renault cars across the Algerian and Libyan deserts to the Hoggar mountains. While somewhat less wild than his later books, there is more detail here on his early career and the logistics of digs in the 1920's. This edition includes some excellent old photos.
