This book contains a glimpse into the lives of multiple historical figures that have escaped common knowledge and many historical texts. Here's an inescapable fact: you will need to dig deeper when learning about these people, but you will come out introduced to droves of new personalities. If you do not find yourself wanting to know more, we have done you a disservice, but we guarantee you that your interest will be piqued.

A drought lasts for decades, a disease rips through a city, a civilization collapses. When we finally uncover the ruins, we ask: what happened? The good news is, we’ve been here before. History is long, and people have already confronted just about every apocalypse we’re facing today. But these days, archaeologists are getting better at seeing stories of survival, transformation, and even progress hidden within those histories of collapse and destruction. Perhaps, we begin to see, apocalypses do not destroy, but create, new worlds.

Imagine a history so profound, it reshapes everything we thought we knew about the origins of civilization. Great Water reveals a new narrative that turns the spotlight away from ancient Egypt, the Fertile Crescent, and southeast Asia, directing it instead towards the Great Lakes region of North America, where evidence suggests that metal technology first emerged around 10,000 years ago. This story follows an unexpected journey into the heart of prehistoric North America, where ancient copper mines around Lake Superior bear silent witness to a long-lost history of indigenous metal use.

Avventurosa e carica di mistero: da sempre, è così che immaginiamo l’archeologia. Spesso legata a paesi lontani, esotici e favolosi, o a scoperte di tesori e reperti straordinari come le tombe etrusche, gli affreschi di Pompei, le sculture classiche. Non è più così da molto tempo, da quando nell’Ottocento l’archeologia ha iniziato a distinguersi dalla storia dell’arte antica ed è diventata una scienza intimamente connessa alla storia dell’uomo, contribuendo, insieme alle fonti scritte, a scoprire e raccontare la vita nelle diverse civiltà.

This audiobook explores the archaeology of New York City’s borough of the Bronx by describing several recent projects that exemplify the range of current practice. Using case histories of recent research in the Bronx, it shares what archaeology can achieve and how it can fill gaps in our history or deepen our understanding of it.

Antike Fallen und uralte Flüche – oder doch eher steinzeitliche Versammlungsstätten und bronzezeitliche Waffen? Jens Notroff war an Ausgrabungen von Skandinavien bis zum Nahen Osten beteiligt. Längst findet archäologische Forschung aber nicht nur in bröckelnden Ruinen statt, sondern in musealen Sammlungen, Laboren – und im digitalen Raum. Wie lebten unsere Vorfahren, wie gestalteten sie ihre Umwelt? Mit welchen Problemen sahen sie sich konfrontiert – und welche Lösungen konnten sie dafür finden? Die Archäologie erlaubt es uns, Jahrtausende Revue passieren zu lassen.

Wie alt ist der Mensch? Was macht ihn aus? Seit Millionen von Jahren hinterlassen wir Menschen auf der Erde Spuren unseres Lebens. Es sind die Relikte von Jagd und Wanderzügen, von Herrschaft und Sklaverei, von Religion und Kultur. Prof. Dr. Hermann Parzinger, einer der führenden Archäologen der Gegenwart, begibt sich gemeinsam mit Ihnen auf Spurensuche. Er betrachtet unsere Geschichte von den Etappen der Menschwerdung bis zur Entstehung Europas. Er berichtet von den ersten Siedlungen, dem Leben in der Stadt, von Gottkönigen bis zu großen Baumeistern im Archäologie Hörbuch.

«Creía que los arqueólogos eran unos graciosos hombrecillos que buscaban momios». Así describe Willie la profesión de su compañero de aventuras Indiana Jones en la película Indiana Jones y el templo maldito. El cine de aventuras siempre fue muy popular y exitoso, basado en un voluntario afán por el entretenimiento más que por la refl exión profunda sobre la condición humana. Dentro de este género, existe un conjunto de filmes cuyo eje central es la búsqueda de un tesoro y que forma un subgénero muy específico que es el cine de Arqueología. Indiana Jones, Lara Croft, Tadeo Jones...

North America boasts a rich history of dinosaurs, with a diverse array of species that once roamed its ancient landscapes. From fearsome predators to gentle herbivores, these creatures left an indelible mark on the continent's geological and paleontological record.

Mudlarking enthusiast Ted Sandling takes us on a riveting journey along the Thames foreshore and back into the past.

In 2000, archaeologist Paul Gething rediscovered a sword. An unprepossessing length of rusty metal, it had been left in a suitcase for thirty years. But Paul had a suspicion that the sword had more to tell than appeared, so he sent it for specialist tests. When the results came back, he realized that what he had in his possession was possibly the finest, and certainly the most complex, sword ever made, which had been forged in seventh-century Northumberland by an anonymous swordsmith.

Ein neuer Blick auf Pompeji und die befreiende Kraft der Kultur. Garküchen, ein Sklavenzimmer, griechische Theater, Villen, Thermen und Tempel – die Ausgrabungen in Pompeji offenbaren eine Welt. Doch was hat sie mit uns zu tun? Gabriel Zuchtriegel, der neue Direktor des Weltkulturerbes, legt eindrucksvoll dar, dass verschüttete Altertümer, starre Ruinen und schweigende Bilder uns noch heute verändern können.

To secure a comfortable afterlife, ancient Egyptians built fortress-like tombs and filled them with precious goods, a practice that generated staggering quantities of artifacts over the course of many millennia—and also one that has drawn thieves and tomb-raiders to Egypt since antiquity. Drawing on modern scholarship, reportage, and period sources, this book tracks the history of treasure-seekers in Egypt and the social contexts in which they operated, revealing striking continuities throughout time.

This provocative and panoramic book shows listeners what they can learn from their ancestors, and how the unwavering ability of prehistoric people to survive and thrive can continue into the present.

You scramble up over the dunes of an isolated beach. You climb to the summit of a lonely hill. You pick your way through the eerie hush of a forest. And then you find them. The traces of the past. Perhaps they are marked by a tiny symbol on your map, perhaps not. There are no plaques to explain their fading presence before you, nothing to account for what they once were—who made them, lived in them, or abandoned them. Now they are merged with the landscape. They are being reclaimed by nature. They are wild history.

Sins of the Shovel is a story of adventure and business gone wrong and how archaeologists today grapple with this complex heritage. Through the story of the Hyde Exploring Expedition, practicing archaeologist Rachel Morgan uncovers the uncomfortable links between commodity culture, contemporary ethics, and the broader political forces that perpetuate destructive behavior today. The result is an unsparing and even-handed assessment of American archaeology's sins, past and present, and how the field is working toward atonement.

Wie lebten Frauen in der Stein- und Bronzezeit? Wie waren die Geschlechterverhältnisse in der Zeit vor Erfindung der Schrift? Bis vor Kurzem waren alle Antworten auf diese Fragen mehr oder weniger Spekulation. Doch seit DNA-Analysen für die prähistorische Forschung zur Verfügung stehen, hat sich dies geändert. Die Wissenschaftsjournalistin Karin Bojs trägt die neuesten Ergebnisse zusammen und fragt, wann und warum das Patriarchat entstand. Die Prähistorikerin Marija Gimbutas hatte seit den 50er Jahren eine Theorie entwickelt, nach der in „Alteuropa“ eher friedliche, matrilineare Gesellschaften existiert hätten.

All too often we think of the past as static, 'frozen in time', and indeed movement is not always easy to decipher from the archaeological record. With Jim Leary's expert eye we explore the tangible remains, from fossilized footprint tracks to prehistoric wooden trackways, ridgeways, holloways, droveways, green ways, corpse roads, and Roman roads. Isotope studies and archaeogenetics now allow us see the arduous journeys that people made across continents and oceans, proving that migration has been continuous throughout our past, an endless ebb and flow of populations.
