Arqueología: Los yacimientos arqueológicos y los tesoros culturales más importantes del mundo (Spanish Edition)

With contributions from more than 40 archaeologists, cultural anthropologists, and historians, this expert survey of the origins and development of civilization examines more than 150 sites in more than 50 countries, from well-known locations such as Knossos and Pompeii to more obscure sites such as Head-Smashed-In in Canada and Sannai Maruyama in Japan. An overview of the history, types, and techniques of archaeology is followed by a section that compares milestones in human development across the Americas, Australia, Europe, and the Pacific. A final reference section includes a guide to sites by country, a bibliography, a glossary, and an index.
