Time Catchers. Archaeological Discoveries from Troy to the Present

This book, written by Eric Cline, an archaeologist with more than 30 seasons of excavation experience, traces the history of archaeology from amateur pursuits to the present day, when it has become a cutting-edge science.

The author introduces the reader to key archaeological sites and discoveries, and also very interestingly answers the questions most often asked of archaeologists:

- How do you know where to dig? 

- How are excavations actually conducted? 

- How do you determine the age of finds? 

- Who preserves the finds? 

Cline introduces readers to the first excavations of the 18th century and new exciting discoveries of the present day.
