Die Archaologien von der Antike bis 1630

Archeology still tends to be seen as a young science. In this two-volume history of archeology, the author fundamentally reshapes this notion and describes the emergence of archeological methods since antiquity. She also explains the origins of today’s national and sub-disciplinary differences, using examples from pre-history and early history.

Volume 1 covers the theoretical foundations and the period from the classical age to 1630.
