In Kindred, Neanderthal expert Becky Wragg Sykes shoves aside the cliché of the shivering ragged figure in an icy wasteland and reveals the Neanderthal you don’t know, who lived across vast and diverse tracts of Eurasia and survived through hundreds of thousands of years of massive climate change. Using a thematic rather than chronological approach, this book will shed new light on where they lived, what they ate and the increasingly complex Neanderthal culture that is being discovered.

Istanbul has always been a place where stories and histories collide and crackle, where the idea is as potent as the historical fact. From the Qu'ran to Shakespeare, this city with three names - Byzantium, Constantinople, Istanbul - resonates as an idea and a place and overspills its boundaries - real and imagined. Standing as the gateway between the East and West, it has served as the capital of the Roman, Byzantine, Latin and Ottoman Empires.

The Scythians were nomadic horsemen who ranged wide across the grasslands of the Asian steppe from the Altai mountains in the east to the Great Hungarian Plain in the first millennium BC. Their steppe homeland bordered on a number of sedentary states to the south and there were, inevitably, numerous interactions between the nomads and their neighbours. The Scythians fought the Persians on a number of occasions, in one battle killing their king and on another occasion driving the invading army of Darius the Great from the steppe.

In 1887, an Egyptian woman made an astonishing discovery among the ruins of the heretic king Akhenaten's capital city, a site now known as Amarna. She found a cache of cuneiform tablets, nearly four hundred in all, that included correspondence between the pharaohs and the mightiest powers of the day, such as the Hittites, Babylonians, and Assyrians. Love, War, and Diplomacy tells the story of the Amarna Letters and the dramatic world of the Bronze Age they revealed.

Este libro explora la historia viva del Levante antiguo a través de ciudades y pueblos que moldearon imperios sin ocupar los titulares: Hamath, Arpad, Samaria, Babilonia o Susa. Con una prosa clara y humanizada, recorre guerras, pactos y rutas comerciales; muestra cómo el arameo se transformó en lengua franca, cómo los exilios rehicieron identidades y cómo la vida cotidiana—mercados, templos, talleres—soportó la marea de conquistas. Un mapa íntimo del poder visto desde sus bordes.

Drawing on the latest archaeological discoveries, Dr. Jess Venner brings the ancient streets to life through the eyes of those who lived, worked, loved, and ultimately met their fate in Pompeii. Richly evocative and immersive, The Lost Voices of Pompeii vividly recreates the final twenty-four hours before the eruption, reminding us exactly what – and who – was lost in 79 AD.

When we first encounter the Bible, we are taught its stories—Adam and Eve, Moses and the Red Sea, David and Goliath, Jonah and the whale, and more. When a story lacks the details we crave, we fill in the blanks—with what we've seen in movies, read in books, and been told by our Sunday school teachers. But there's a better way to encounter the whole story of Scripture: uncovering and understanding the ancient world and the people who experienced biblical events.

Загадки древних цивилизаций, сказочные сокровища царских гробниц, ловушки, опасности и проклятия, подстерегающие дерзких первооткрывателей, рискнувших извлечь из небытия храмы забытых богов... Звучит как тизер к приключенческому фильму. Однако задолго до того, как на широкие экраны вырвались Индиана Джонс и Лара Крофт, археология перестала быть пыльной наукой, интересной только ученым мужам. Произошло это в том числе и благодаря книге, которую вы держите в руках.

En junio de 1994 se desenterró en Palenque, Chiapas, uno de los más grandes misterios arqueológicos del siglo xx: una tumba colmada de jade y cinabrio, pero sin inscripciones. El cuerpo era de una mujer, algo inaudito hasta entonces: ninguna gobernante maya, que se supiera, había recibido ese tipo de honores.

First published in 1871, Ancient America delivers the earliest comprehensive English language survey of North America’s prehistoric past. Baldwin synthesizes scattered accounts—from the fluted point hunters of the Paleo Indian era to the monumental earthworks of the Mississippi Valley “Mound Builders,” and onward to the pyramidal cities of Mexico and Central America—into a single, lucid narrative.

Ein archäologischer Thriller aus dem Mittelalter Lange galt die Zeit der Ottonen als »Schicksalsepoche der Deutschen«. Die Nazis vereinnahmten das 10. Jahrhundert ideologisch, um die Vernichtungspolitik des »Tausendjährigen Reiches« zu rechtfertigen. Nun macht sich die Archäologie daran, das wahre Gesicht dieser Schlüsselzeit Europas zu enthüllen.

Was wir erst heute wahrhaft begreifen: Weit mehr als Kriege und Technologien, Religionen und Ideologien beeinflussten und lenkten seit Anbeginn der Zeit die Natur und das Klima die Geschicke der Menschen.

Wie alt ist der Mensch? Was macht ihn aus? Seit Millionen von Jahren hinterlassen wir Menschen auf der Erde Spuren unseres Lebens. Es sind die Relikte von Jagd und Wanderzügen, von Herrschaft und Sklaverei, von Religion und Kultur. Prof. Dr. Hermann Parzinger, einer der führenden Archäologen der Gegenwart, begibt sich gemeinsam mit Ihnen auf Spurensuche. Er betrachtet unsere Geschichte von den Etappen der Menschwerdung bis zur Entstehung Europas. Er berichtet von den ersten Siedlungen, dem Leben in der Stadt, von Gottkönigen bis zu großen Baumeistern im Archäologie Hörbuch.

To secure a comfortable afterlife, ancient Egyptians built fortress-like tombs and filled them with precious goods, a practice that generated staggering quantities of artifacts over the course of many millennia—and also one that has drawn thieves and tomb-raiders to Egypt since antiquity. Drawing on modern scholarship, reportage, and period sources, this book tracks the history of treasure-seekers in Egypt and the social contexts in which they operated, revealing striking continuities throughout time.

Uncovering the physical remains of our past is a quintessential human itch; the pursuit of every society from the ancients through to today. But the stories behind archaeological exploration and discovery - what we look for when, what we end up finding, and what we then do with it - tell us as much about ourselves today as they do about the past. Through eight sensational stories of discovery, Professor Michael Scott traces the evolution of modern archaeology from colonial expeditions to today's cutting-edge digs, unearthing traps, curses and buried treasure along the way.

This audiobook explores the archaeology of New York City’s borough of the Bronx by describing several recent projects that exemplify the range of current practice. Using case histories of recent research in the Bronx, it shares what archaeology can achieve and how it can fill gaps in our history or deepen our understanding of it.

Christopher Hadley takes us on a lyrical journey into this past, retracing and searching for an elusive Roman road that sprang from one of the busiest road hubs in Roman Britain. His passage is not always easy. Time and nature have erased many clues; bridges rotted and whole woods grew across the route. Carters found an easier ford downstream, and people broke up its milestones to mend new paths. Year after year the heavy clay swallowed whole lengths of it; the once mighty road became a bridleway, an overgrown hollow-way, a parched mark in the soil.

Excavated from a waterlogged archaeological site on the shores of subtropical Florida by legendary anthropologist Frank Hamilton Cushing in 1896, the Key Marco Cat has become a modern icon of heritage, history, and local identity. This book takes listeners into the deep past of the artifact and the Native American society in which it was created.

My whole adult life, I have made a study of death. A stunning blend of the personal and professional, The Archaeology of Loss is Sarah Tarlow’s first memoir. An accomplished archaeologist, much of Sarah’s work is concerned with the ritual and belief behind the practice of grief. In 2012, she...

In 1922, after fifteen years of searching, archaeologists finally discovered the tomb of King Tutankhamun. There, buried alongside the king's mummy, they found more than 5,000 unique objects, from the mundane to the extravagant, from the precious to the everyday. Tutankhamun's spectacular gold mask is justifiably famous, but the rest of the treasures remain largely unknown, their stories untold.
