This is the first comprehensive reveiw of the science of archaeology in the light of the last decades revolutionary discouveries, discouveries which have transformed our veiws of our own origins and oif the early history odf mankind. From the two-million-year-old campsites of early man in Africa, the evidence of agriculture going back 10 000 years in Syria and New Guinea, and the traces of early Mesopotamian civilization reaching almost to India, to the spectacular finds of the third-millenium archive of Ebla and the tomb of Philip of Macedon, archaeologists have rapidly and radically extended the whole range of their inquiries. They have adepted powerful and sophisticated techniques of analysis from the physical and biological scienses: they have studied and applied relevant work from other human and social sciences– anthropology, geography, demography, economic history: they have proposed exciting new theories to reconstruct and explain the processes of cultural change that have taken man from hunter to astronaut in an instant of geological time.
