註釋Interpreting Archaeology uses a wide array of evidence from humble ceramic pots, to imposing monuments, to genetic data, to tell the human story from a new angle. Neil Faulkner has charted a fascinating journey through the past spanning the breadth of the globe. Beginning with the discoveries that have reshaped our understanding of hominin evolution and the spread of Homo sapiens across the globe, he traces the establishment of the states in Mesopotamia. He then takes the reader through the emergence of iron working in Africa and Europe, and the great triumphs and eventual fall of the Roman Empire, to the spectacular artefacts of Ming Dynasty China, and the administrative ingenuity of the Inca Empire.
