"Archaeology" Prof DR. Eric H. Cline (DVD) (24 Lectures / 30 Minutes Per Lecture / 4x DVD - The Great Courses)
In this 24-lecture investigation, the curriculum peels back the layers of time to reveal how the physical remnants of the past allow us to reconstruct lost civilizations. Rather than focusing solely on famous treasures, the series explores the scientific methods and field techniques used to solve historical mysteries, from the accidental discovery of the Terracotta Army to the high-tech mapping of Mayan cities. You will gain a sophisticated understanding of how material culture—from simple pottery shards to massive stone monuments—provides a tangible link to the daily lives and grand political structures of our ancestors. It is a compelling look at the forensic nature of history, demonstrating how the dirt beneath our feet holds the secrets to the rise and fall of humanity’s greatest societies.
 
Perfect for enthusiasts who appreciate the intersection of music and historical scholarship, this DVD complements Book Archaeology’s commitment to unlocking the treasures of the mind.
