The Great Archaeologists

Nyskick. 'Whether you are interested in the desert romance of Ur of the Chaldes or the recreation of Viking ships in Roskilde, this book is one to savour?
MINERVA
Full of fascinating anecdotes, personal accounts and unexpected insights, The Great Archaeologists tells the life stories of seventy of the world's most intrepid excavators and decipherers, all of whom opened up vast vistas of time and revealed buried cities, lost civilizations and forgotten scripts to the modern world
The characters of the individual archaeologists - brilliant, occasionally misguided, often charming, frequently obsessive and sometimes downright eccentric - spring to life on these pages. Here are such controversial figures as Heinrich Schliemann, of Troy fame, and Aurel Stein, plunderer of ancient manuscripts from Central Asia.
Little-known pioneers are set beside the giants in the field:
Lepsius, Mariette and Carter in Egypt; Koldewey, Dörpfeld and Woolley in the Near East; Stephens and Catherwood, discoverers of the Maya of Mexico; and Louis and Mary Leakey, who transformed knowledge of our African ancestry.
Other indomitable women here include Gertrude Bell, explorer of Arabia and Iraq, Kathleen Kenyon, the excavator of Jericho, and the script-decipherer Tatiana Proskouriakoff.
