Whither archaeology?

Abstract

Edward Bacon, for many years Archaeological Editor of the Illustrated London News, reviews in this book archaeological progress and discovery in the 1960s, a period of greater activity than ever before.He describes in detail work on the major sites of the decade, the early settlements of Catal Huyuk and Hacilar in Central Turkey, which have shown convincingly that it is in Anatolia rather than in the Nile and Indus valleys, that European civilization had its beginning.But such is the scope of his survey, that he discusses work in such areas as Mongolia and Western Australia, as well as the 'traditional' sites of Greece and the Middle East. illustrations, 4 maps, L3.
