Publisher's Summary
The work of archaeologists has commanded worldwide attention and captivated the human imagination since the earliest days of exploration, with groundbreaking discoveries such as the treasures of ancient Egypt, the lost kingdoms of the Maya, and the fabled city of Troy. Archaeology brings us face-to-face with our distant ancestors, with treasures of the past, and with life as it was lived in long-ago civilizations.
Despite the fascinating and often romantic appeal of archaeology, many of us have little idea of what the field actually involves. What, exactly, do archaeologists do? What takes place on an archaeological dig? And how does the reality of the work differ from what we see in Indiana Jones movies?
Archaeology: An Introduction to the World's Greatest Sites, taught by renowned archaeologist and National Geographic Explorer Eric H. Cline, answers these questions and more in rich and provocative detail. These 24 thrilling lectures, produced in partnership with National Geographic, introduces you to over 20 of the most significant and enthralling archaeological sites on the planet, providing both in-depth looks at the sites themselves and an insider's view of the history, science, and technology of archaeology. Prepare yourself for a vivid and detailed exploration of archaeology's most magnificent discoveries in the company of an expert archaeologist with decades of experience in the field.

A must purchase for every archeology lover
if you have any interest in archeology, this book will not disappoint. the narrator is thoroughly engaging, and the content is extremely comprehensive but leaves you excited for the next chapter. I hope that the author published more fascinating audiobooks in the not too distant future.

Fascinating, educational AND entertaining!
I love so many of The Great Courses lecture series, and this intro to Archaeology is no exception :) The presenter is upbeat, knowledgeable and explains things in a way everyone can understand.

Many interesting cases
This series covers so many parts of the world and explores archaeology beyond those sites so well known in the West. The inside information on how a dig is designed and carried out adds to the understanding and enjoyment of the other lectures.
