Description

New Roads to Yesterday - Essays in Archaeology presents new evidence and hypotheses about the archaeology of many regions of the world. Many of the writings by various authors are now considered landmarks. Mirrored here are the archaeologist's adaptation of the techniques of biochemistry, nuclear physics, and other sciences and his development of fresh and meticulous field methods and concepts. The evolution of man, the cultural diversity of Upper Paleolithic cultures, animal domestication in the prehistoric Near East, earliest migrations to the New World, prehistory of the West Indies, the domestication of corn, the origins of cities and civilizations, and ancient agriculture in the Negev are among the subjects they explore. 546/Hardbound/Illustrations/Maps/Tables.
