Description
This fascinating book tells the story of Çatalhöyük, one of archaeology's most legendary sites. Excavated forty years ago, it has yielded spectacular finds dating back almost 10,000 years.
Michael Balter skillfully weaves together many threads in this book, exploring the site and its significance through the stories of those involved in its excavation. From the original excavator's troubles to the recent re-excavation team, Balter offers a nuanced account of human creativity and ingenuity, as well as the development of modern archaeology.
Part story of the past, part exploration of modern scholarly life, this book should appeal to both general readers and those interested in archaeological studies.
