Description

From The Publisher:

The range of this dictionary is from the earliest prehistory to the civilizations before the rise of classical Greece and Rome. From the Abbevillian handaxe and the god Baal of the Canaanites to the Wisconsin and Würm glaciations of America and Europe, the Yang Shao culture of neolithic China and Zinjanthropus, the 'nutcracker man' of Africa, this dictionary concisely describes, in more than 1,600 entries with copious cross-references, the sites, cultures, periods, techniques, terms and personalities of archaeology.

With its world-wide coverage and numerous maps and figures, this book must prove an ideal companion for the growing number of amateur enthusiasts and a very useful aid for students in fields outside their own specialities.
