520 $aThis volume explores a selection of the world's great archaeological discoveries. The treasures described and analyzed come from a wide range of contexts, in terms of geography, culture and time period. The treasures range from Ice-Age figurines of central and Eastern Europe to African gold, from the Dead Sea Scrolls to the sensational discoveries of Egyptologists in the tomb of Tutankhamen. The editor provides large-scale, color photographs and his assessment of each of the "man-made movable treasures", while providing his commentary on the creators' materials, tools, technology, craftsmanship and trade; on religion, ritual, status and hierarchy; and on social life and appearance.
