The thrilling history of archaeological adventure, with tales of danger, debate, audacious explorers, and astonishing discoveries around the globe
What is archaeology? The word may bring to mind images of golden pharaohs and lost civilizations or Neanderthal skulls and Ice Age cave art. Archaeology is all of these, but also far more: the only science to encompass the entire span of human history - more than three million years!
This Little History tells the riveting stories of some of the great archaeologists and their amazing discoveries around the globe: ancient Egyptian tombs, Mayan ruins, the first colonial settlements at Jamestown, mysterious Stonehenge, the incredibly preserved Pompeii, and many, many more. In 40 brief, exciting chapters, the book recounts archaeology's development from its 18th-century origins to its 21st-century technological advances, including remote sensing capabilities and satellite imagery techniques that have revolutionized the field.
Shining light on the most intriguing events in the history of the field, this absolutely up-to-date book illuminates archaeology's controversies, discoveries, heroes and scoundrels, global sites, and newest methods for curious listeners of every age.

Fagan does a wonderful job of tracing the history of archaeology through specific digs & discoveries, individuals, civilizations, and the theories and techniques of the discipline. Easy to listen to & understand, it is concise but still detailed.
It does get a little dry around the bioanthropology section (ch 28-32ish) but keep going and it is well worth it!!
Highly recommend!
Wonderful Overview! Highly Recommend!

The narrator was a bad choice, too--it sounds like he's enclosing every fifth word in scare quotes.
Overall, I'd say this one isn't worth a credit.
Like Kent Brockman reading me the encyclopedia
