These may be places like Great Zimbabwe or Machu Picchu, with throw a new light on a civilization, or objects, such as the finds from the Sutton Hoo ship burial in England, which to the same. There are discoveries made when archaeology was just becoming a science, like those of Schliemann at Troy, and those which have been made more recently, such as the finding of the Iceman and the latest discoveries from Pompeii and Herculaneum. With its beautiful illustrations and informative, approachable text, this book is packed with fascinating information.
