Patterns in Prehistory: Humankind's First Three Million YearsOxford University Press, 1990 - 614 Seiten This comprehensive review of world prehistory is organized around the five topics central to archaeology: the origins of culture, the development of physically "modern" people, Pleistocene cultures, the establishment of agricultural economies, and the rise of complex states and empires. It presents a coherent philosophy of the field, reflecting the "new archaeology" of the 1960s and 70s while reviewing the methodological revisions of the 80s, and relates the archaeological data from hundreds of sites to the great questions of prehistorical change. Thoroughly revised and updated to include new scholarship and the most recent discoveries, the Third Edition features new material on the Neanderthals, Pleistocene cave art, and ancient Egypt, as well as many new illustrations and an analysis of modern archaeological theory within the context of Western intellectual history. Always clear and lively, Patterns in Prehistory is that rare book that will fascinate general readers and scholars alike. |
