This unique guide, with its more than sixteen hundred entries, covers the whole field of archaeology from human evolution and the prehistoric period to the civilizations of prehistoric period to the civilizations of Egypt, the Near East, Europe, and the Americas. There are sections dealing with important sites, cultures, and ancient propels. And with the technique of modern archaeological research. Other entries describe field monuments and the many kinds of artifacts found in excavations. Technical term (which are often intimidating) are lucidly explained. Because the authors of this book designed it primarily for the many people who have become aware of archaeology via current news and information media, through unexpectedly digging up a potsherd while spading a flower bed, or from a visit to an ancient monument, they have not assumed that readers have a wide academic knowledge of archaeology. Instead, they have put forth clear explanations for those who have had chance acquaintance with the field and would like to become more familiar with an enthralling and rewarding study. Serious students, too, will find the guide valuable, particularly when they are dealing with aspects of the subject outside their immediate field of special interest. Author, Warwick Bray, was a Lecturer in American Archaeology at London University. Author, David Hilary Trump (1931 - 2016), was a British archaeologist known for his work in the area of Maltese prehistory. In 1954, Trump's helped John Davies Evans excavate at Ġgantija. He took part in the excavation of many important sites in Maltese prehistory, including the Skorba Temples and Xagħra Stone Circle . From 1958-1963, he was a curator at the National Museum of Archaeology, Malta. He retired in 1997. He was awarded the National Order of Merit by Malta in 2004.
